Proof #12

Issue twelve of Image's Proof wraps up its "Thunderbirds Are Go!" arc with a cover by Riley Rossmo that's as quietly unsettling as it is charming — a small, wide-eyed creature sits amid spilled ink and scattered debris beside an open ink bottle labeled "No. 12," its bright green gaze lifted upward with an expression somewhere between curiosity and mischief. The stark white negative space amplifies the tiny figure's presence, making the messy ink-stained scene feel both intimate and oddly poignant. Alex Grecian and Dave Casey's 2008 series continues to blend the strange and the heartfelt in a way that rewards readers who appreciate cryptozoology with soul.
