The Mask #0

Dark Horse's zero issue kicks off this four-part series with a cover by Doug Mahnke that's hard to look away from — a massively muscled figure wearing the green Mask strides forward, glowing yellow eyes and a wide, unsettling grin radiating menace against a soft pink-and-purple gradient sky. It's a striking contrast: pastel dreaminess behind something that feels genuinely dangerous. With John Arcudi writing and Mahnke handling interior art as well, "Who's Laughing Now?" promises a 1991 Dark Horse series with real creative ambition behind its wild premise.
