“1: The Yellow Sign”

"1: The Yellow Sign" kicks off Alan Moore’s Providence with a haunting, introspective tone, as Robert Black grapples with the lingering grief of losing his lover Jonathan—referred to only as Lillian—while reflecting on the unsettling theories of Dr. Alvarez. Jacen Burrows’ striking cover, rendered in bold pencils and inks, sets a mood of quiet dread, perfectly complementing Moore’s layered storytelling and Kurt Hathaway’s precise lettering.
