Skin & Earth #3

The cover of this third chapter from Dynamite's Skin & Earth series — created entirely by musician and artist Lights — says so much through stillness: a red-haired young woman huddles in a tight, vulnerable curl while a ghostly silhouette of a standing figure looms behind her, the contrast between fragility and shadow lending the image a quietly haunting emotional weight. It's a beautifully spare composition that signals a series unafraid to sit with difficult, interior moments rather than reach for easy spectacle. If you've been following this 2017 series, issue three promises to deepen the introspective, dystopian mood that makes Skin & Earth feel genuinely unlike anything else on the shelf.
