Proof #23

"Julia: Conclusion" brings the haunting, intricately layered story of Proof to a powerful close, with Alex Grecian’s writing and Riley Rossmo’s striking interior art—penciled and inked by Rossmo—guiding the emotional weight of Julia’s final resting at the Lodge. As Ginger and Elvis finally embrace their feelings, the past unfolds in stark, surreal flashes: Lent’s fateful exhibition, Mi-Chen-Po’s vengeance, and the unlikely alliance of the Dover Demon and McKraken against Jack the Ripper, all converging in the present where Proof confronts his grief and whispers of a future he’s beginning to accept. The cover by Riley Rossmo captures the story’s melancholic intensity, a fitting frame for a tale that lingers long after the final page.
