Dull Margaret #[nn]

A haunting, finely rendered close-up of a pale, vacant-eyed figure dominates Dix's cover for this 2018 Fantagraphics release — spare and unsettling in the best possible way. The muted, ghostly palette and loose, expressive linework give Dull Margaret an atmosphere all its own, somewhere between folk tale and fever dream. If you're drawn to comics that trust image over spectacle, this is one to linger over.
