Haha #2

HAHA #2 from Image Comics draws you in with a cover that's equal parts glamour and unease — a performer in a red corset applies her clown makeup at a cluttered dressing-room vanity, surrounded by glowing bulb lights, pink feathers, and scattered cosmetics, while an unsettlingly large dark hand looms in from the left edge. The intimate, voyeuristic composition by Prince and Thorogood gives the scene a quietly melancholic beauty that feels worlds away from the big-top spectacle you might expect. If this 2021 series is on your radar, this issue's cover alone makes a compelling case for picking it up.
