Die #2

Stephanie Hans's painterly cover for Die #2 pulls us in close on a figure seen from behind — red-jacketed, with a striking dragon emblem on their back and the word "PLAYERS" stitched across the shoulders, smoke curling up as they hold what appears to be a small hourglass. The moody crimson geometry of the title design frames the image beautifully, giving this 2019 Image series an atmosphere that sits somewhere between tabletop nostalgia and genuine unease. Gillen, Hans, and Cowles are building something that feels unlike anything else on shelves.
