The Mask: Toys in the Attic #3

Issue three of four in this offbeat 1998 Dark Horse miniseries, and Doug Mahnke's cover makes a vivid case for why The Mask is unlike anything else in comics. The green-faced, wide-grinning Mask cuts a surreal figure in a white chef's suit, balancing on one leg while wielding multiple knives across his many arms — and coolly presenting a domed silver platter bearing a tiny Cupid figurine — all against a swirling purple backdrop littered with fragmented human faces. Bob Fingerman's script and Sibin Slavković's art carry that same unhinged energy into "Toys in the Attic Part 3," promising readers a story as gleefully chaotic as the cover suggests.
