“Brought To Light”

The Darkness #4 arrives in May 1997 with one of the most arresting covers of the year — a massive, split-face close-up of Jackie Estacado that literally divides the human and the monstrous, with glowing amber eyes, jagged fang-filled jaws, and cracked, textured armor consuming half the image. Cover pencils by Marc Silvestri and inks by Matt Banning make every razor-sharp tooth and shadowed contour feel genuinely unsettling. With Garth Ennis at the helm for the story "Brought To Light," this issue promises a dark, compelling chapter in one of Image's most visceral supernatural titles.
