Rorschach #10

Jorge Fornés and Dave Stewart's cover for issue ten of Tom King's DC Black Label series is a moody marvel — a masked figure in a suit with a blood-red tie stands centered against a swirling fingerprint motif, framed by two looming silhouetted figures in profile, one distinctly feminine in a wide-brimmed hat. The cool blue palette and halftone texture give the whole image a noir-soaked tension that perfectly suits this mature-readers exploration of identity and obsession. With the series deep into its run, this 2021 installment promises the kind of layered, atmospheric storytelling that has made Rorschach one of DC Black Label's most compelling offerings.
