B.P.R.D.: 1948 #2

The cover of this second chapter in the five-part B.P.R.D.: 1948 miniseries is a striking piece of work by cover artist Dave Johnson — rendered almost entirely in stark black and white, it depicts a dark-haired woman cradling a glowing green vessel from which small, writhing tentacles emerge, while a massive, root-like supernatural entity looms and spreads behind her. The contrast between the eerie green luminescence and the monochromatic dread surrounding her gives the image a genuinely unsettling pull. With Mike Mignola and John Arcudi scripting and Max Fiumara on interior art, this postwar-era chapter of the B.P.R.D. saga promises the kind of atmospheric, occult tension that makes this corner of the Hellboy universe so compelling.
