Ghost #6

Dark Horse's Ghost #6 brings the "Stare at the Sun" arc to its third chapter with a cover by Dan Norton that is equal parts haunting and seductive — a white-clad woman draped across the lap of a red-skinned, horned devil figure in formal attire, the two locked in an unsettling near-embrace amid swirling mists and a field of skulls. The eerie green atmosphere and cascading purple drapery give the whole composition a Gothic, almost operatic weight that perfectly suits Ghost's supernatural world. With writing by Chris Warner and interior art by Christian Zanier, this 1999 issue promises the kind of dark, stylish storytelling that made this series a standout in Dark Horse's lineup.
