Static #18

Part three of the five-part "What Are Little Boys Made Of?" arc finds Static in a tight spot, his cover subtitle — "Welcome to My Nightmare" — setting the tone perfectly. The cover, penciled by Wilfred Santiago and inked by John Stanisci, puts Static front and center in his orange-and-purple gear, clutching a crackling energy sphere while a commanding, silver-haired figure in a dramatic green-and-black ensemble looms behind him amid swirling supernatural energy. With Robert L. Washington III scripting and a mysterious face peering ominously from the corner, this 1994 Milestone/DC entry promises the kind of imaginative, charged storytelling that made the series stand out on the rack.
