Dying Is Easy #3

Martin Simmonds delivers a genuinely unsettling cover for this third chapter of Joe Hill's "Sh*t-Talk" Homes Mystery — a figure in roller skates sits sprawled on the pavement, hands raised in a desperate, defensive gesture as a vehicle's blinding headlights bear down from directly behind them. The neon-drenched urban atmosphere and Simmonds' loose, painterly linework give the scene a queasy, noir urgency that feels perfectly suited to a mystery series with this much attitude.
