Blue Book: 1947 #5

The penultimate issue of Dark Horse's Blue Book: 1947 arrives with one of the series' most quietly unsettling images: a lone silhouetted figure in a hat and suit stands frozen on a suburban street as a massive flying saucer overhead bathes him in a blinding beam of light. Michael Avon Oeming's cover work, rendered in a cool blue-and-white palette, gives the scene an eerie stillness — everyday neighborhood homes and trees framing something deeply, unmistakably wrong. With James Tynion IV, Oeming, and letterer Tom Napolitano bringing "The Count of St. Germain" to life inside, this issue promises the same thoughtful, atmospheric strangeness that has defined this 2024 series.
