Strange Adventures #12

Tom King and artists Mitch Gerads and Evan "Doc" Shaner bring their acclaimed twelve-issue DC Black Label series to its conclusion with this striking final chapter, "Dedication and Fanaticism." The cover by Mitch Gerads presents a quietly arresting image: a figure in a "Terrific" t-shirt seen from behind, arm raised, while a woman on a ladder works alongside him against a bold, peeling red-and-white background — an intimate, almost domestic tableau that feels worlds apart from typical superhero imagery. It's a compelling note on which to close out one of 2021's most visually distinctive series.
