Harrow County #25

Cullen Bunn and Tyler Crook's Southern Gothic horror series reaches its 25th issue with a cover that is equal parts haunting and beautiful — a skeletal, root-entwined figure clutches a young woman close in an embrace that reads as possessive as much as protective, her eyes closed against whatever darkness surrounds them. Crook's painterly cover work gives the image a rich, earthy dread, all tangled roots and glowing warmth pressed against decay. Harrow County has earned its reputation as one of the most atmospheric horror comics of 2017, and this issue's cover makes a compelling case for why.
