The Invisibles #19

King Mob dominates this April 1996 Vertigo issue, rendered in striking painted style by cover artist Sean Phillips — shaved head, round dark shades, and a gun aimed squarely at the reader against a swirling psychedelic vortex of pink, purple, and gold. It's the concluding chapter of "Entropy in the U.K.," with Grant Morrison, Phil Jimenez, and John Stokes bringing this three-part arc to a close. The cover alone — all confrontational energy and kaleidoscopic atmosphere — captures everything that made The Invisibles one of the more daring books DC Vertigo was publishing at the time.
