The Spectre #11

The cover by Greg Hildebrandt says it all: a massive, blue-skinned demon with blazing yellow eyes looms over a white-caped figure — the Spectre himself — who appears ensnared within a crackling sphere of supernatural energy, helpless in the creature's enormous clawed hands. It's a striking image that suggests even DC's most formidable supernatural force may have met something that can match its power. John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake's "The Deepest Cut" promises the kind of dark, cosmic storytelling this 1993 series delivered so consistently.
