Girls #22

The Luna Brothers' unsettling horror series reaches issue #22 with a cover that stops you cold: a pale, dark-haired woman emerges — crouched and intense — from a cracked giant egg, while several more intact eggs loom in the shadowy foreground around her. Jonathan Luna's cover art uses stark, clinical lighting from a single bare bulb overhead to give the scene an eerie, confined atmosphere that perfectly captures the series' blend of quiet dread and body-horror unease. If you've been following this Image series through 2007, this image makes a compelling case for why Girls has earned its devoted readership.
