Proctor Valley Road #2

The second issue of Proctor Valley Road delivers a genuinely unsettling cover: a shadowy, robed figure with glowing eyes advances along a dark desert trail lined with twisted Joshua trees, its hands trailing wisps of eerie yellow-green flame into the night air. Naomi Franquiz's art captures the desolate California backcountry atmosphere with an almost cinematic dread — deep shadows, sparse moonlight, and that sickly supernatural glow make the whole image feel like a ghost story told around a dying campfire. This BOOM! Studios series is shaping up to be one of 2021's most atmospheric horror offerings.
