The Creeper #6

The final chapter of this 2007 six-issue DC miniseries arrives with one of its most unsettling images yet: the Creeper mid-transformation, his yellow, fang-baring alter ego clawing at a man's face as swirling green energy churns below, while a shadowed Batman looms in the background clutching what the cover bluntly promises is a cure. Writer Steve Niles and the art team of Justiniano and Walden Wong bring the series to a head with a cover that feels genuinely visceral — the tension between the human face and the monstrous one splitting it apart says everything about where this story has been heading. If you've been following along, this is exactly the kind of closing image the series deserves.
