Peter Panzerfaust #18

Kurtis J. Wiebe and Tyler Jenkins's WWII-era reimagining of Peter Pan delivers a genuinely unsettling image for issue #18: a figure bound in heavy chains plunges — or dangles — headfirst into a dark, cavernous void, with only a faint shaft of light breaking through from above. The cool blue-green palette and the vertiginous downward perspective give the cover a haunting, almost dreamlike quality that sets it well apart from standard wartime adventure fare. If this series has been on your radar, this striking Image/Shadowline chapter looks like a compelling place to feel the weight of the stakes.
