Preacher #38

Glenn Fabry's cover for Preacher #38 drops you into a grimy punk venue where a grotesquely disfigured figure commands the microphone, his battered leather jacket and skull-printed shirt marking him as the undisputed center of chaos. Behind him, bandmates thrash away — one wielding a guitar, another shirtless — while a writhing, frenzied crowd surges forward from below, faces twisted and desperate, reaching up toward the stage. Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's "Badlands" looks to be as raw and unhinged as the scene Fabry has painted, and that's exactly the kind of promise that keeps Preacher readers coming back.
