Mind the Gap #5

The cover of Mind the Gap #5 frames four elegantly dressed figures — two men standing, two women seated — as a formal portrait that has been shattered, its cracked glass radiating fractures across every face and figure. It's a quietly unsettling image by cover artist Rodin Esquejo, with Sonia Oback's rich blues and purples lending the scene a polished, almost suffocating sophistication. Jim McCann's 2012 Image series continues with "Portrait of the Con Artist," and this fifth installment promises the kind of fractured trust and hidden identities that make the title feel entirely earned.
