Secret Six #21

There's something genuinely unsettling about this 2010 DC cover by Daniel LuVisi — a battered, stitched-together voodoo doll in the unmistakable form of Catman, pierced with pins and suspended by a noose against a lush jungle backdrop, with a tiny red-eyed tree frog perched on its shoulder for an almost absurdist touch. The craftsmanship of the image is striking, blending the handmade softness of a stuffed toy with real menace as cotton stuffing spills from the seams. Gail Simone and J. Calafiore's "Cats in the Cradle" arc reaches its third chapter here, and this cover promises the title's signature blend of dark humor and genuine danger.
