Elephantmen #11

A lone human figure stands on a tiled floor, hands clasped behind his back, gazing upward with a weathered, unreadable expression — and at his feet, a dark pool of blood tells a quiet but unmistakable story. The cover's title treatment layers English and Japanese kanji together under the heading "Man of Peace," a contradiction that feels deliberately unsettling against that crimson stain. Elephantmen continues to show in 2007 why Image's mature sci-fi anthology is one of the most visually thoughtful series on shelves.
