Scalped #55

Scalped #55 brings Jason Aaron and R. M. Guéra's gritty Vertigo series to the concluding chapter of "Knuckle Up," and Jock's cover sets the mood with raw, unsettling power. Rendered in smeared earth tones of ochre and rust, a face fills the entire image — jaw clenched, expression somewhere between fury and anguish — conveying the brutal emotional toll the series is known for. It's a striking, close-quarters composition that feels less like a comic cover and more like a wound.
