Bubba Ho-Tep and the Cosmic Blood-Suckers #4

Joe R. Lansdale's wild cosmic-horror saga reaches its fourth chapter with a cover that perfectly captures the series' eerie blend of dread and vulnerability — a dark-haired man wearing a gold cross necklace and a watch is pulled into the luminous, ghostly embrace of a pale, long-haired supernatural figure, their forms dissolving into swirling, otherworldly smoke and flame. The intimacy of the image is genuinely unsettling, suggesting something between a rescue and a predatory grip. Baldemar Rivas brings a striking painterly quality to this 2018 IDW release, making it one of the more quietly haunting covers in the run.
