Charles Vess's cover for this April 1993 installment is a genuinely unsettling tableau: the skeletal, hooded Spectre rises shrieking amid gnarled roots and a graveyard backdrop, while crimson tentacles coil around his gaunt frame and a dark, horned creature looms over a framed image of a frightened young child clutching a book. John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake's "A Rage in Hell" promises exactly the kind of supernatural intensity this image delivers — cosmic horror and eerie pathos rendered in careful, atmospheric detail. A striking entry in DC's early-'90s run of this series.
