Ex Machina #37

Chapter two of "Dirty Tricks" arrives in style with this striking 2008 WildStorm issue, featuring cover art by Tony Harris that blends political iconography and superhero strangeness into something genuinely unsettling. Dominating the composition is a masked woman with a skull emblem on her hat and a wide, taunting expression, while a helmeted figure lurks at the left — all set against a bold starburst backdrop framing a Republican elephant symbol. Brian K. Vaughan's politically charged series continues to find fresh tension at the intersection of power, costume, and civic life.
