Ghost #23

Dark Horse's Ghost reaches issue #23 with a cover by penciler John Cassaday and inker Randy Emberlin that pulls no punches: Elisa Cameron, clad in white and bound by glowing green chains, fights to break free as a writhing mass of grotesque creature-hands claws at her from every direction. The image captures everything essential about this character — fierce, outnumbered, and refusing to yield — and fits perfectly with the fourth chapter of the "Exhuming Elisa" arc. With Eric Luke writing and Ivan Reis on interior art, this 1997 issue promises a dark, urgent installment in one of Dark Horse's most compelling supernatural series.
