PvP #28

Scott Kurtz's Eisner Award-winning series delivers another offbeat installment with issue #28, featuring one of the most unexpectedly arresting covers of 2006 — a glowing, embryonic figure curled in a warm amber void, peering out through tiny round glasses while clutching what appears to be a scorpion. The strange tenderness of the image sets a perfectly surreal tone for a preview of "Captain Amazing." Kurtz handles every creative role himself, and that singular vision is on full display here.
