Fishflies #7

Jeff Lemire's Fishflies continues with this quietly haunting cover: a red-jacketed child sits perched atop a water tower alongside a large, dark insect creature, both silhouetted against an enormous glowing moon. The pairing of small, vulnerable human and strange companion feels tender rather than threatening, perfectly capturing the series' offbeat emotional tone. Lemire's loose, expressive linework and warm watercolor palette make issue #7 a pleasure to hold even before you've turned a single page.
