Ghost #30

The penultimate chapter of "Painful Music" arrives with a cover that's equal parts reverent and unsettling — Ghost stands in close profile, white-gloved hands clasped around a raised pistol in an almost prayer-like pose, her expression calm beneath a flowing white hood. Behind her, a vivid stained-glass window depicts a red-haired woman with arms crossed over her chest, lending the image a quietly sacred tension that feels entirely at home in Ghost's world of the ethereal and the deadly. Chris Warner's cover linework is crisp and confident, and with Luke, Reis, and Emberlin inside, this 1997 Dark Horse arc continues to deliver.
