Crimson #3

Against a vast, blood-red moon, a dark-clad young figure crouches on a rooftop ledge, head thrown back and both hands dripping crimson — it's a striking image of torment and transformation that sets the tone for "Payment in Blood." Humberto Ramos and Sandra Hope deliver a cover that feels simultaneously haunted and fierce, with the looming red circle behind the solitary figure giving the whole composition an almost ceremonial weight. This July 1998 Image release from the Cliffhanger imprint promises high-stakes vampire drama with real emotional grit.
