Proof #15

Image's Proof reaches its fifteenth issue with a cover by Riley Rossmo that grabs you immediately — a massive, snarling sasquatch-like creature tears through what appears to be a locomotive, chains hanging from its wrists, long dark hair whipping wildly around a fearsome, wide-open mouth. The loose, painterly style Rossmo brings to this 2008 release — with Adam Guzowski's moody color washes of purple, gold, and pink — makes the whole image feel kinetic and genuinely unsettling. If the tagline "If You Believe in Monsters, You Need… Proof" ever needed a visual argument, this concluding chapter of "Thunderbirds Are Go!" makes it convincingly.
