Promethea #28

Promethea's serene yet otherworldly face dominates this haunting collage cover for issue #28, an illuminated triangle at her brow while ghostly imagery of soldiers, skulls, crumbling cityscapes, and the Statue of Liberty swirls around her like a waking apocalypse. The monochromatic palette gives everything a dreamlike, prophetic weight entirely fitting for a story whose title alone — "Don't They Know It's the End of the World?" — signals something grand and melancholy is at hand. J. H. Williams III's cover art is a richly layered visual poem, and with Alan Moore writing and Todd Klein lettering, this 2004 America's Best Comics installment carries all the craft the series is known for.
