Preacher #39

Three grotesque, brutish figures loom large on Glenn Fabry's unsettling cover — one clutching a large knife, another wielding a fork, and a third reaching forward with grasping hands, all rendered with Fabry's signature hyper-detailed, visceral painterly style. It's a deeply uncomfortable image that captures Preacher's dark, confrontational tone perfectly, reminding readers in 1998 why this DC Vertigo series kept pushing boundaries. With Garth Ennis writing and Steve Dillon on interior art, issue #39 — "For All Mankind" — promises another chapter that's equal parts disturbing and compulsively readable.
