Daredevil #11

This strikingly spare cover for Daredevil #11 sets a haunting tone, rendered almost entirely in black and white with precise bursts of red — a cane, a tie, a splatter of blood against white space. Matt Murdock stands in civilian clothes, his red-lensed glasses the only color on his figure, reaching toward a dark, turbulent mass that takes the shape of Daredevil mid-action, billy club raised, as if his costumed self is something half-conjured and barely contained. Ron Garney's cover art for Charles Soule's "Dark Art Part II" captures the duality at the heart of the character with real elegance — two identities, one man, and the violence that connects them.
