Nowhere Men #9

A hauntingly beautiful cover for this 2016 Image series, featuring a layered, almost translucent crowd of faces — men and women rendered in delicate linework and soft rose-pink washes — that seem to drift in and out of focus, suggesting a cast of characters whose identities are literally overlapping and uncertain. Dave Taylor's artwork has an ethereal, dreamlike quality perfectly suited to a series exploring the blurry boundaries between science, celebrity, and humanity. Eric Stephenson, Jordie Bellaire, and Fonografiks round out the creative team, making Nowhere Men #9 one of the more visually distinctive ongoing series Image had to offer in 2016.
