Satellite Sam #8

Howard Chaykin's cover for Satellite Sam #8 is a bold, provocative composition — a red-haired woman in black lingerie and garter belt peers back over her shoulder, her gaze cool and direct against a vivid red background. The deliberately provocative framing captures the series' noir-inflected world of early television's glamour and shadows perfectly. Matt Fraction and Chaykin continue their 2014 deep dive into the seedy underbelly of the golden age of broadcast with "Cinecittà," and this cover makes abundantly clear the series hasn't lost its nerve.
