Air #15

Issue #15 of Vertigo's Air arrives in January 2010 with a quietly striking cover by M.K. Perker — a woman in a flowing white dress and white gloves stands before a tall arched window, her gaze downcast as she holds a vintage aviator's helmet, while a scarf and hat rest on a nearby chair and high heels sit abandoned on the floor. The tension between the elegance of the setting and those grounded, earthbound accessories gives the image a poignant, contemplative mood that suits the "Air Heart" story title perfectly. G. Willow Wilson and Perker continue to make this one of Vertigo's most distinctive series, weaving together the personal and the adventurous in a way that keeps readers genuinely invested.
