Black Hammer #6

A moonlit swamp has rarely looked this unsettling — Dean Ormston's cover for Black Hammer #6 presents a cloaked, pale-faced figure hovering ghostlike among gnarled, bare branches while a grotesque, root-twisted swamp creature rises from the murk below. The atmospheric tension between those two figures, bathed in Dave Stewart's moody, fog-drenched palette, makes this a genuinely striking image. With Jeff Lemire's "The Cabin of Horrors!" as the featured story, this sixth issue of Dark Horse's celebrated series leans fully into its love of pulp-horror atmosphere.
