Drifter #5

Nic Klein's cover for Drifter #5 is a striking piece of visual design — a solitary armored figure hangs upside-down, suspended above a blazing, sun-like sphere set against a vast orange and red landscape, while smaller planetary bodies drift at the edges. The dot-matrix title treatment and overlaid grid lines give the whole image a cool, almost analog-sci-fi atmosphere that perfectly suits Iván Brandon and Klein's collaborative vision. If you've been following this Image series, issue five — subtitled "Go" — looks like exactly the right moment to see where this world takes things next.
