My Faith in Frankie #3

The penultimate issue of this charming 2004 Vertigo miniseries places a wide-eyed, bespectacled Frankie front and center — her oversized face framed by golden hair — while a whirl of stylish dark-haired figures in skirts and heels spiral playfully around her, one even perched atop her head. Marc Hempel's cover art captures a wonderfully chaotic energy, balancing the wide-eyed sweetness of the lead character against the dynamic, almost kaleidoscopic cast surrounding her. With Mike Carey's writing and Sonny Liew's interior art, this series has more than earned The Washington Post's comparison — right there on the cover — to a young Audrey Hepburn.
