Dark Spaces: The Hollywood Special #6

Scott Snyder's Dark Spaces imprint wraps up The Hollywood Special with a cover that's equal parts glamour and dread — a blonde woman in an elegant gown stands center stage, one arm raised as if accepting applause, while she cradles what appears to be a grotesque, dripping bouquet of organic horror, all framed by crumbling theater curtains and an ominous golden glow. Claire Roe's artwork brilliantly plays the tension between showbiz spectacle and something deeply wrong lurking beneath the surface, with Jordie Bellaire's warm, lurid colors amplifying every unsettling detail. Jeremy Lambert's story reaches its finale in this sixth issue, and if the cover is any indication, the curtain falls on this IDW original in memorably disturbing fashion.
