The Phantom Stranger #8

The cover of The Phantom Stranger #8 poses a chilling dare right at the top — "Can You Survive a Journey to the Tomb of the Ice Giants?" — and Neal Adams's cover art delivers on that threat with terrifying immediacy: a uniformed man screams in horror as massive, swirling white forms engulf him and his companions, while a colossal, ghostly giant looms in the icy background. The mysterious Phantom Stranger himself watches from the corner, hat-brimmed and shadowy, a cool observer to the chaos below. With Denny O'Neil writing and Jim Aparo handling the interior art, this 1970 DC supernatural title was quietly one of the most atmospheric books on the stands.
