Egypt #1

Peter Milligan and Glyn Dillon launch this seven-issue DC Vertigo series with a cover that immediately commands attention: a serene yet unsettling Egyptian pharaoh's death mask dominates the image, while two modern figures — rendered in stark contrast to the ancient imagery — drape themselves across its crown, with the tagline "Staring Death In The Face..." setting the tone beautifully. Dillon's cover art bridges ancient Egypt and the contemporary world with cool, assured linework and a striking color palette of warm terracotta and deep blue. If you're drawn to mature Vertigo storytelling that wears its mythic ambitions openly, "The Book of the Remains" looks like a compelling place to start.
