As Dan DiDio and Brent Anderson begin revealing secrets about DC Comics' enigmatic occult hero, the publisher has provided CBR with an exclusive first look at Ethan Van Sciver's "Phantom Stranger" #2 variant cover.

Dan DiDio and Brent Anderson's "Phantom Stranger" ongoing debuted during DC Comics' recently concluded Zero Month, picking up directly from the events in the publisher's Free Comic Book Day offering. Below, CBR brings you an exclusive first look at the series' second issue variant by Ethan Van Sciver.

"You'll see Phantom Stranger as he's supposed to be," DiDio told fans of his and Anderson's take on the character during DC's New Wave panel at Comic-Con International. "What we've done in the first issue of 'Phantom Stranger' is rewind to that 'Free Comic Book Day' issue and see the events through his eyes... More importantly, he comes into contact with one character familiar to readers who were with DC prior to the New 52."
