The Spectre #31

The Wrath of God has never looked quite this unsettling — issue #31 of John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake's The Spectre presents a cover by Kelley Jones that demands attention: the pale, hollow-eyed Spectre looms large in his sweeping green cloak, arms raised against a star-filled night sky while a snarling pack of dark, fang-filled creatures surges around him from every direction. Jones's linework gives the scene a feverish, gothic energy that perfectly suits DC's supernatural avenger. "Desecration, Epilogue: Matters of Faith" promises the kind of weighty, morally charged storytelling this creative team delivered so consistently throughout 1995.
