Beware the Creeper #2

Vertigo's 2003 reimagining of the Creeper continues with "Act II," and Cliff Chiang's cover makes an immediate impression: a green-skinned woman with wild red hair and dark bandage-like wrappings dominates the foreground, dangling a jeweled necklace against a moody Parisian skyline — the Eiffel Tower unmistakable in the blue dusk behind her. There's a cool, noir-tinged confidence to the image that feels right at home in Vertigo's mature-readers lineup, with Jason Hall and Chiang bringing a distinctly stylish sensibility to this corner of the DC universe.
