Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #15

David Lapham's Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses continues its gritty, street-level crime drama with issue #15, "Smoke and Mirrors." The cover features a young blonde woman with a knowing smirk, her hand raised to her temple in a casual gesture, surrounded by swirling fragments — torn paper or debris — set against a warm, chaotic red background. It's a quietly unsettling image that perfectly captures the series' knack for finding unease beneath an everyday surface, all rendered in Lapham's distinctive, expressive linework.
