Black Hammer: Spiral City #4

A pale, bald figure in a grey suit raises a defiant fist before a scorched banner reading "WE ARE GOLD" — an unsettling image that sets an ominous tone for "The Mad King." Teddy Kristiansen's cover work is striking in its restraint, using smoldering orange flames at the edges and a weathered, muted palette to suggest a world quietly coming apart. Jeff Lemire's Black Hammer: Spiral City continues to deliver that rare blend of melancholy and menace that makes this series one of Dark Horse's most compelling ongoing efforts in 2025.
