Strange Adventures #4

The fourth and final issue of Vertigo's Strange Adventures anthology closes out with a cover by Esad Ribić that's genuinely hard to look away from — a massive, tooth-filled sea creature erupting from the waves between a screaming woman on a surfboard and a man riding a cresting wave just out of its reach. The sense of scale and dread Ribić captures is remarkable, blending sun-drenched beach atmosphere with something far more primal lurking beneath. Inside, John Ney Rieber and Danijel Žeželj bring "Native Tongue" to life, rounding out this mature-readers anthology on what promises to be an unsettling note.
