The Authority #18

Part two of "Earth Inferno" arrives with a cover that commands immediate attention — a massive, molten figure erupts from a sea of liquid fire, his body engulfed in blazing orange energy that drips and churns around him like living lava. Frank Quitely's pencils and Trevor Scott's inks give the image a visceral, almost sculptural weight, making the threat feel genuinely overwhelming. Mark Millar and Chris Weston's WildStorm series was operating at full intensity in 2000, and this WildStorm issue's cover promises nothing less.
