The Defenders #103

Subtitled "The Haunting of Christiansboro!", this 1982 Marvel issue sets a genuinely eerie tone right on its cover, where a moonlit graveyard crawls with skeletal figures and ghostly white silhouettes as several Defenders — including a blonde female hero in the foreground — scramble through the chaos of rising dead. Al Milgrom's pencils and inks bathe the entire scene in a cool blue palette that gives the supernatural menace a real atmosphere of dread. With J. M. DeMatteis writing and the art team of Perlin and Sinnott on interiors, this is a satisfying chapter in the non-team's history for anyone drawn to Marvel's supernatural corner of 1982.
