Huck: Big Bad World #4

Rafael Albuquerque's cover for this fourth issue of Huck: Big Bad World is a striking study in shadow and scale — Huck's massive silhouetted profile looms over a small, tense scene below, where a standing figure in a cap faces a crouching person caught in a single beam of light. That contrast between the hulking, watchful presence above and the vulnerable human drama unfolding at his feet tells you everything about the emotional weight Mark Millar and Albuquerque are building in this Dark Horse series. If you've been following Huck's journey through a world that keeps testing his goodness, issue #4 looks like it's raising the stakes in a very personal way.
