Creepy #5

Dark Horse's revival of Creepy delivers on its promise of "the finest in illustrated horror" with this striking fifth issue, featuring a cover by Sanjulián that sets a genuinely unsettling mood: a red-cloaked figure clutches human skulls and a dagger amid flickering candles and scattered scrolls, all while an enormous, grinning ghoulish face looms out of the sickly green shadows behind them. Inside, 48 all-new pages await, including "Blood of the Sky" crafted by Benjamin Truman and Timothy Truman, with art and inks by Timothy Truman and lettering by Nate Piekos for Blambot. If atmospheric dread rendered in lush, painterly detail is what you're after, this 2011 issue delivers it in abundance.
