The Demon #47

Garth Ennis and John McCrea take The Demon into unsettling territory with this May 1994 issue, subtitled "Weird War Tales!" — and McCrea's cover makes the theme unmistakable. A horde of rotting, skeletal soldiers in WWII-era uniforms marches forward beneath a Nazi swastika flag, their decomposed faces and bony hands rendered with grim, visceral detail against a blood-red sky. It's a genuinely striking image that promises the kind of dark, historically charged horror that made this Ennis-McCrea run so distinctive.
