Dominique Laveau: Voodoo Child #3

Vertigo's 2012 New Orleans-set supernatural series reaches its third chapter with a cover by Rafael Grampá that practically crackles with menace and atmosphere. A young woman — presumably Dominique Laveau herself — sits amid swirling ribbons and lush floral fabric in the foreground, while a towering, imposing bald figure in a suit looms behind her with a raised fist, all set against a golden-hazed New Orleans skyline crowded with shadowy, monstrous figures. Writer Selwyn Seyfu Hinds and artist Denys Cowan bring this "Crescent City Night" to life in what promises to be a rich, darkly atmospheric chapter of this mature-readers tale of voodoo and the Crescent City.
