Peter Panzerfaust #9

The ninth chapter of Kurtis Wiebe and Tyler Jenkins's WWII reimagining of Peter Pan carries a quietly unsettling cover: a battered German military helmet, eagle insignia prominent on its face, with a curved hook resting ominously atop it against a stark black background. The image says everything without saying a word — the hook and the helmet together suggest a collision of worlds that feels both inevitable and dangerous. With the story moving to Paris, this issue looks to deliver another gripping chapter in one of Image's most distinctive ongoing series of 2013.
