Abe Sapien: The Drowning #4

The penultimate chapter of "The Drowning" arrives with a cover by Mike Mignola that feels genuinely unsettling — Abe Sapien's pale, amphibious form stands tense and vulnerable against a dark backdrop crowded with enormous, skeletal creature remains that loom over him like a nightmare made solid. That eerie emblem at the center of the composition adds another layer of dread to an already atmospheric image. With Jason Shawn Alexander on interior art and Dave Stewart on colors, this 2008 Dark Horse series has been a moody, carefully crafted showcase for one of the Hellboy universe's most compelling figures.
