Dark Ride #6

The sixth issue of Image's Dark Ride pulls you straight into the carnival dread the series does so well — a determined young man clutches a flashlight outside an attraction called "Devil Land," whose sign grimly advertises admission at the price of one soul ticket. Looming over him from the ride's entrance is a grotesque, multi-eyed creature with jagged claws and a maw full of teeth, set against a blood-red sky and the silhouette of a roller coaster. Andrei Bressan's cover work, brought to life with Adriano Lucas's moody, atmospheric colors, makes this a genuinely unsettling image that earns its place in Joshua Williamson's darkly imaginative series.
