Terror Inc. #2

The second issue of Marvel's 1992 horror series delivers a genuinely unsettling cover by Jorge Zaffino — a massive, wide-jawed creature lunges straight at the viewer, its mismatched bulging eyes and rows of bared teeth filling nearly the entire frame in an up-close composition that's hard to shake. The cover teases the presence of the Serpent, the Darksoul, and the birth of Hellfire, promising a densely supernatural installment of this darkly offbeat title. With Zaffino handling both pencils and inks, the raw, scratchy linework gives the image a grimy energy that fits Terror Inc.'s mean-streets-meets-macabre tone perfectly.
