Barnstormers #3

Tula Lotay's cover for this third chapter of Barnstormers: A Ballad of Love and Murder sets a moody, atmospheric tone — a brooding figure with a cigarette dominates the upper half in cool shadow, while two silhouettes face each other against a warm, blood-red glow below. The contrast of cool blues and fiery reds makes the danger and intimacy of Scott Snyder's noir thriller feel almost tactile. If you've been following this Dark Horse series, issue #3 keeps the tension wound tight right from the first glance.
