The Spectre #10
In "Laughing at Myself," J. M. DeMatteis and Craig Hamilton explore a haunting moment when The Spectre and Abin Sur try to comfort Helen Jordan after her parents' death—only for The Spectre to be drawn away by a chilling new threat. As The Joker's influence spreads, the Spectre faces a terrifying internal fracture, confronting a corrupted, Jokerized version of Parallax that puts Helen in danger. Tim Sale’s cover captures the eerie, fractured tone of the story, rendered in his signature stark style.
