Dominique Laveau: Voodoo Child #4

Vertigo's supernatural series pulls you deeper into its rich New Orleans mythology with this striking 2012 installment from writer Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, artist Denys Cowan, and inker John Floyd. Rafael Grampá's cover art is quietly mesmerizing — Dominique Laveau gazes upward with quiet intensity, her flowing hair swirling into intricate dotwork patterns, while a fierce, glowing spirit face looms large in the violet darkness above her. The imagery perfectly captures the tension of "Requiem, Chapter Four: Of Trials and Crossroads," where the spiritual world seems to press in from every direction around our protagonist.
