Drawing Blood #2

This second issue of Image's Drawing Blood: The Story Behind the Stories packs its cover with a vivid, collage-style burst of characters and imagery — a confident young woman with gold earrings and a quilted jacket shares center stage with a dark-haired man, while a trio of golden bust-like figures, a heart-shaped vignette of cartoon creatures, a "Midnight Sushi" storefront, and a tense street confrontation all swirl together in Kevin Eastman's densely layered 2024 artwork. The tagline "The Story Behind the Stories" signals something genuinely meta and personal, and the cover's chaotic warmth makes it feel like a love letter to the comics life itself. Fans of behind-the-curtain storytelling and Eastman's signature raw energy will find plenty to dig into here.
