Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #11

David Lapham's Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses rolls into issue #11 with a cover that's equal parts menace and dark wit — a blonde woman clutching what appears to be dynamite dominates the foreground, while a bespectacled man, a distressed woman, a gun-toting figure, and a wild-bearded man crowd the edges in a swirl of chaotic vignettes. The story title, "The Treasure of the Hacienda Los Creepers," promises the kind of crime-soaked, character-driven trouble that makes this 2016 Image series so compelling. Lapham handles every creative role himself — writing, drawing, inking, and lettering — and that singular vision comes through in every detail of this wonderfully gritty cover.
