Fell #2

Ben Templesmith's cover for this second issue sets a quietly unsettling tone — a solitary white-haired figure in a dark coat stands head bowed against a swirling, smoke-like background, with a faded map of Cambodia and Thailand bleeding through the composition behind him. The effect is haunting and atmospheric, suggesting a man weighed down by geography, memory, or both. Warren Ellis and Templesmith's noir-inflected series continues to prove that $1.99 can buy a genuinely striking piece of sequential art.
