Art Ops #7

With its swirling neon-yellow spiral background and sharp mod aesthetic, Michael Allred's cover for Art Ops #7 perfectly captures the series' pop-art sensibility. Dominating the foreground is a stylish woman with a towering bouffant and white cat-eye sunglasses, while three figures — two dark-haired men and a blonde woman in round glasses — loom behind her with cool, watchful expressions. "Modern Love Part Two of Two" wraps up a story arc from this Vertigo series, written by Shaun Simon with interior art by Eduardo Risso, and this cover alone makes a strong case for why the book earned its mature-readers label.
