The Darkness #6

From Top Cow and Image, The Darkness #6 arrives in July 1997 with a cover by penciler Marc Silvestri and inker Matt Banning that puts protagonist Jackie Estacado front and center — his long dark hair framing a brooding, scarred face while the living Darkness armor writhes across his torso, its otherworldly eyes and bone-like tendrils clutching a feather in the dim light. The mood is intimate and unsettling, pulling you close to a man clearly wrestling with something far greater than himself. With Garth Ennis scripting and the title "End of an Era," this is a compelling chapter in one of the late '90s' most atmospheric supernatural series.
