Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie #4

Dynamite's 2017 reimagining of these beloved mystery icons reaches its fourth installment, and Fay Dalton's cover sets a genuinely tense mood — a wide-eyed blonde woman (Nancy Drew) scrambles through a dark, moonlit forest, caught between two young men in what reads as a moment of desperate urgency. The gnarled branches overhead and the cold light filtering through the trees give the scene a noir atmosphere that suits Anthony Del Col and Werther Dell'Edera's grittier take on these classic characters. If the series has been building toward something, this cover suggests the tension is very much coming to a head.
