Manifest Destiny #16

A tower of skulls — human and animal alike — rises against a blazing sunset landscape on this unsettling cover from Matthew Roberts, with Owen Gieni's warm, fever-dream palette of pinks and yellows giving the image an almost hallucinatory glow. The carefully arranged bones and antlers framing the scene speak to the monstrous dangers lurking along the Lewis and Clark expedition's uncharted frontier in Chris Dingess's horror-western series. Issue #16 makes it clear that the American wilderness still has plenty of grim surprises in store.
