Swamp Thing Annual #5

This 1989 annual brings together an impressive creative lineup — Neil Gaiman, Richard Piers Rayner, Mike Hoffman, Kim DeMulder, and Mike Mignola — for a story titled "Brothers." John Totleben's painted cover is genuinely haunting: a pale, wild-haired figure with red eyes and claw-like hands crouches in the foreground, while massive, ghostly faces loom from the misty background in a way that feels both dreamlike and deeply unsettling. It's the kind of atmospheric image that makes this oversized DC annual hard to pass up.
