Faith #2

Ted McKeever's unmistakable linework dominates this second issue of Vertigo's Faith, where a gaunt, winged figure — robes soaked with blood and adorned with strange golden ornaments — tumbles or descends amid a chaotic heap of skulls, bones, and grotesque creatures. The subtitle "The Big Fall" blazes across the lower half of the cover, underscoring the unsettling collision of the divine and the decayed that McKeever renders with such raw, visceral energy. If you've been following this 1999 Vertigo series, this cover alone makes a compelling case that issue two is not one to skip.
