Negative Burn #2

Andrew Robinson's cover for this second issue of Image/Desperado's anthology series sets a quietly haunting tone — a lone woman in a layered red-and-brown coat stands among bare trees and a carpet of fallen autumn leaves, her expression carrying an air of melancholy mystery. The muted palette punctuated by those warm reds makes for a striking image that hints at the thoughtful, literary work waiting inside. With contributors including Brian Bolland, Evan Dorkin, Sam Glanzman, Danijel Žeželj, and many more, this $5.99 anthology brings together a genuinely impressive roster of storytelling talent.
