B.P.R.D.: 1946 #2

The cover of this second chapter in the B.P.R.D.: 1946 miniseries is genuinely unsettling in the best way — a pale, blonde girl in an old-fashioned dress stands small and alone against a looming mass of winged, blue-eyed demons rendered in deep, oppressive shadow. Mike Mignola's cover art uses that stark contrast between the delicate, almost fairytale-like child and the monstrous figures crowding behind her to generate real dread without a single word of story. Writers Mignola and Joshua Dysart, with interior art by Paul Azaceta, bring the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense into the eerie postwar world of 1946 — and this cover makes clear that whatever lurks in that era is very, very dark.
