Andrew Vachss' Underground #4

The final issue of Andrew Vachss' Underground from Dark Horse closes out this mature-readers series with a striking cover by Darick Chamberlin: a fierce, white-haired figure in red and gold stares down the viewer, one hand gripping a blade while a dark, ornate cloak billows behind them — all rendered against a bold orange field that gives the image real presence. Inside, writer John Weeks and artist Ted Naifeh bring the story "Phreak" to life. It's a confident, visually arresting cap to a series that clearly wasn't afraid to take its audience seriously.
