Shutter #27

Shutter #27 brings the penultimate chapter of Image Comics' adventure series to a striking close with a cover by Leila del Duca that commands immediate attention — a lone rider atop a small dinosaur-like creature faces down a towering, roaring beast of swirling red flame and smoke. The sheer scale between the two figures gives the image a wonderful sense of desperate courage, all rendered in del Duca's warm, painterly tones with color work by Owen Gieni. Joe Keatinge's series has always embraced the wildly imaginative, and this cover is a vivid reminder of why Shutter earned such a devoted following.
