Clash #3

This concluding chapter of DC's 1992 prestige-format miniseries carries a striking cover by Adam Kubert: a pale, ethereal figure in flowing white robes carries an unconscious or lifeless body through a surreal landscape of splattered crimson and strange organic forms — including a large centipede crawling through the chaos. The stark contrast between the serene bearer and the visceral, blood-drenched surroundings gives the image an unsettling, almost mythic weight that suits a story titled "The First Men and the Last Man." Tom Veitch and Adam Kubert, with colors by Dave Hornung, close out Clash on a note that promises something genuinely ambitious and strange.
