Planetary #16

Planetary #16 brings Warren Ellis and John Cassaday's celebrated WildStorm series to haunting visual territory with this October 2003 issue, titled "Hark." The cover, rendered by Cassaday with colors by Laura Martin, presents a woman's face bathed in deep red, her features dissolving upward into luminous green energy while dark tendrils streak downward — all set against a ghostly circular sigil that fills the background. It's a striking, otherworldly image that perfectly captures Planetary's taste for the strange and the quietly unsettling.
