Grrl Scouts: Magic Socks #6

Jim Mahfood's Grrl Scouts: Magic Socks reaches its sixth and final issue with a hauntingly beautiful cover that pulls you straight into the series' surreal world. A figure in pale blue stockings lies curled on an ornate red surface beneath a vast starry sky, while nearby a burst of flame-like hair radiates golden and green light — all framed by a jagged, tooth-edged dark border that gives the whole image an unsettling, dreamlike edge. Mahfood's loose watercolor linework and bold color work are on full display here, making this a striking send-off to one of Image's most visually distinctive series.
