The Spectre #11

Part of DC's 1988 Millennium crossover event (Week 8), this issue of The Spectre brings a sinister gathering to vivid life on Jerry Bingham's striking cover. The Spectre himself looms large at the center in his distinctive blue-and-gold costume, presiding over an eclectic crowd that includes a top-hatted figure in white, two dark-haired women, a pale crimson being holding a glass of wine, a server in green, small demonic creatures, and a large open tome — all set against billowing green curtains that give the scene a theatrical, unsettling atmosphere. With Doug Moench writing and Gray Morrow on art, "Housewarming Party" promises the kind of moody, character-rich storytelling that made this mid-1980s Spectre series a genuinely compelling corner of the DC Universe.
