Little Bird #3

Chapter Three of Little Bird arrives with one of the most arresting cover images of 2019 — a massive, scarred warrior figure gripping a staff while ensnared in a churning mass of fleshy, tentacle-like tendrils that surge up from below. Ian Bertram's linework is extraordinarily intricate, layering biological dread with quiet, falling leaves against a deep teal sky, and Matt Hollingsworth's color work makes the vivid pinks and reds of those writhing forms feel genuinely unsettling. This Image series continues to announce itself as something fearlessly singular.
