The New Titans #81

In The New Titans #81 (1991), the team’s absence sends shockwaves through their circle, as allies and friends rally in anxious uncertainty. With Pariah’s cryptic warnings adding to the confusion, the tension mounts as everyone struggles to make sense of the fragmented glimpses he offers—each one more unsettling than the last. Written by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by Curt Swan, with inks by Al Vey, colors by Matt Hollingsworth, and letters by John Costanza, the issue’s cover by Kerry Gammill and Al Vey captures the growing dread in a single, haunting image.
