Espers #3

Greg Horn's painted cover for this 1997 Image series pulls you straight into a world of psychic unease — a tense woman in a blazer clutches a glowing object as blood drips beneath her, an enormous owl looms ominously in the background, and a pentagram hovers in the shadows behind her. The atmosphere Horn conjures here feels equal parts supernatural thriller and psychological dread, perfectly suited to the third chapter of the "Black Magic" arc. If you've been following Espers, this issue promises the story is deepening in all the right ways.
