Sex #19

Joe Casey's boundary-pushing series continues with issue #19, featuring a striking cover by Piotr Kowalski that's hard to look away from — a heavily textured, deeply wrinkled figure lounging bare-chested across a bold red sofa, grinning with an unsettling ease against a vivid yellow background. The stark, almost grotesque draftsmanship gives the image a raw, provocative energy that's entirely in keeping with Sex's reputation for challenging its readers. With the "Saturn Caesars" story inside brought to life by the artistic team of Kowalski and Ian MacEwan with colors by Brad Simpson, this 2015 Image series shows no signs of softening its edge.
