Terminal City: Aerial Graffiti #2

The cover of this 1997 DC/Vertigo series presents a moody, retro-noir tableau — a blue-tinted showbill advertising "La Bar Belle" and its featured performers, including the billed "Billie Divine" and "Amazon Girl," conjuring a world of nightly cabaret spectacle. Looming in the foreground, a gloved hand cradles a photo marked with a vivid red splash, adding a quietly ominous undercurrent to the entertainment glamour behind it. Dean Motter and Michael Lark's Terminal City: Aerial Graffiti continues to deliver that signature blend of retro-futurist atmosphere, with cover art by Mark Chiarello that feels like a rain-slicked city street brought to life.
