Curse Words #25

Curse Words reaches its 25th issue with a cover that feels like a painting mid-dissolution — a long-haired, bearded figure in glasses rendered in loose, expressive brushstrokes as fragments of color scatter away from his face into the white void around him. Ryan Browne's artwork carries a quietly unsettling beauty, blending vivid painterly energy with a sense of something unraveling. It's a fitting milestone image for one of Image's more wonderfully strange series.
