The Titans #3

The cover of The Titans #3 (May 1999) makes an immediate impression: a massive, red-skinned demon called Goth — all yellow claws, glowing eyes, and bared fangs — erupts from a churning tide of crimson while a group of unsuspecting civilians below, popcorn in hand, react in wide-eyed horror. Mark Buckingham's pencils and Wade von Grawbadger's inks give the scene a visceral, larger-than-life energy that perfectly sets the tone for the "Theater of Blood" chapter of Devin Grayson's run. It's a striking, creepy cover that promises the team is about to face something far nastier than a typical night out.
