Dark Realm #4

Dark Realm #4 from Image Comics delivers a striking cover that captures the series' dark fantasy energy in full — a heavily armored warrior, bound in chains and clutching a gleaming sword, strains forward in the foreground while a fierce sorceress in armor and flowing green cape rises behind him, a glowing energy swirling at her chest. Looming over them both is a massive, snarling reptilian creature, its jaws open wide and ready to strike. With work from R.H. Chun, Robert Chong, Eddie Yu, and Quantum FX, this 2001 Image release makes a strong visual case for the series as one of the more visually ambitious dark fantasy titles on the shelves at the time.
