Head Lopper #6

Andrew MacLean's cover for issue #6 — the second chapter of "Head Lopper and the Crimson Tower" — is a quietly stunning piece of work, placing a small, heavily laden warrior figure against an enormous sweep of snow, purple mountains, and a glowing pink sky. The sense of solitude and scale is striking: that lone traveler trudging through a vast winter landscape, bristling with weapons and gear, says everything about the journey ahead. MacLean's clean linework and Bellaire's luminous color palette make this one of the most atmospherically beautiful covers in Image's 2017 lineup.
