The Spectre #14

From the creative team of Moench and Morrow, this May 1988 installment of DC's supernatural series delivers "Major Arcana, Part 3: Seeing Smoke," the third chapter of a compelling multi-part arc. Charles Vess's cover art sets a striking tone: the Spectre rises triumphant — arms raised, dark cloak billowing against a fiery amber sky — atop a massive mound of skulls, with skeletal hands reaching up from either side of the grim pile. It's a haunting, beautifully composed image that captures DC's Spirit of Vengeance at his most imposing.
