Alienzkin #[nn]

Mark Beachum's fully painted-looking cover for Alienzkin: Version 1 — Deviate Extacy announces itself with striking confidence: a fiery, red-haired figure with small horns, a sinuous tail, and an otherworldly physique stands at the center of a swirling, dark organic landscape filled with floating spheres and strange biomechanical forms. Beachum handles every line and color himself, and the result is a richly detailed, airbrushed aesthetic that feels at home on Eros Comix's more adult-oriented 2003 shelf. If surreal, provocative sci-fi fantasy art is your thing, this oversized volume makes a bold visual statement right from the cover.
