Dominique Laveau: Voodoo Child #6

Vertigo's Dominique Laveau: Voodoo Child reaches its sixth issue with a cover by Rafael Grampá that crackles with supernatural energy — a bald figure pounds a drum kit in a frenzy, surrounded by skulls, a brooding old house, an owl, lightning bolts, and scattered bones, all bathed in deep amber and rust tones. The composition feels like rhythm and the spirit world colliding at full force, perfectly suited to a story titled "A Bitter Blues for Brother Benny." With writing by Selwyn Seyfu Hinds and interior art from Denys Cowan and John Floyd, this 2012 Vertigo mature-readers title continues to be one of the most visually distinctive books of its year.
