Kabuki #9

David Mack's Kabuki #9 from Image closes out this chapter of the series with a cover that feels more like gallery art than a comic book — a luminous, painterly portrait of a woman's upturned face emerging from rich washes of brown, violet, and red. The framed image, centered against a stark black background, carries the quiet intensity of the story title "Apocalypse and/or Metamorphosis," suggesting something deeply personal rather than explosive. With Mack handling every creative role himself, this 2000 issue is a striking example of one artist's fully unified vision.
