DMZ #26

DMZ #26 brings the stark, haunting arc titled "Kelly" to Vertigo readers in 2008, with a cover by Brian Wood that speaks volumes through restraint — a pale, ghostly silhouette dissolving into white space, marked only by vivid red bloodstains that make the violence feel immediate and intimate. The near-monochromatic design is quietly devastating, the kind of cover that stops you cold before you've even opened the book. Brian Wood and Riccardo Burchielli continue their unflinching look at life inside the demilitarized zone with this unsettling chapter.
