Lands Unknown: The Skinless Man #2

The concluding chapter of this two-part Dark Horse series delivers a cover that pulls no punches: a gaunt, hairless figure grips a spear in the foreground, his exposed, veined flesh rendered in unsettling detail by Ben Stenbeck, while a towering skull-faced entity with glowing pink eyes looms over the scene and a skeletal, armored creature lurks to the left. Dave Stewart's deep blues and cool shadows give the whole composition a brooding, atmospheric dread that feels perfectly suited to the "Tales from Lands Unknown" horror anthology banner. If the first issue drew you in, this finale's cover promises the tension has nowhere left to go but somewhere very dark.
