Mora #4

Paul Harmon's Mora has been one of Image's most atmospheric horror-fantasy books, and this fourth issue wears that mood proudly on its cover. The composition splits the image into a striking cross-shaped panel layout — a young woman's face bathed in blood-red light at the center, flanked above by a looming, spike-maned beast with gleaming yellow eyes and below by shadowy, violet-tinged creature forms, while an enormous clawed green hand reaches toward her from the left. It's a tense, beautifully rendered tableau that makes clear Mora is caught between forces far larger and more dangerous than herself.
