Caliber Presents #2

The cover of Caliber Presents #2 immediately commands attention with Jim Pavelec's striking painted image: a pale, otherworldly woman whose head is partially merged with a grotesque, biomechanical creature — its fleshy, tentacled mass fused seamlessly to her skull. Pavelec's rich, deep reds and browns give the piece a visceral, unsettling beauty that speaks to the anthology's taste for dark, boundary-pushing material. At $9.99, this 2016 collection from Caliber Press promises a generous helping of edgy storytelling wrapped in some genuinely arresting cover art.
