Dark Horse Presents #62

Frank Miller's cover for Dark Horse Presents #62 (1992) is a study in stark, brooding minimalism — a massive, scarred figure seated in what appears to be an electric chair, red cables arcing from his temples while he stares downward with barely contained menace, rendered almost entirely in black and grey. The image is pure Miller: heavy silhouette work, raw linework, and an atmosphere of dread that announces Sin City Episode Thirteen before you've read a single panel. If you've been following this serialized noir saga in Dark Horse Presents, this is one you won't want to skip.
