Bedlam #5

Nick Spencer's psychologically charged series poses its central question right on the cover: "Is evil just something you are or something you do?" Frazer Irving's haunting cover image answers with unsettling ambiguity — a white-haired figure, back turned, stands restrained by heavy chains and a riveted iron brace, flanked by looming dark blades that suggest both wings and weapons. It's a quietly arresting composition that captures the moral unease at the heart of this 2013 Image series.
