KISS: Zombies #5

The penultimate issue of Dynamite's KISS: Zombies mash-up closes in with an unsettling close-up of a decayed, skull-like face — unmistakably evoking KISS's Demon persona — rendered in cracked white and black war paint with blood dripping from its jaw against a dark, weathered backdrop. Arthur Suydam's cover work brings a grim, painterly intensity to the whole thing, merging rock-and-roll iconography with full-on horror atmosphere. If this series has been on your radar, issue five's cover alone makes a compelling case for tracking it down.
