The Autumnlands #7

Around a crackling campfire in a moonlit forest, two figures face each other — a lean, elf-eared humanoid seated with a sword and an upright anthropomorphic dog-person with hands raised in surprise or supplication, while the fire's smoke billows upward into the unmistakable silhouette of a great bear looming over the treeline. Benjamin Dewey's cover composition, colored with rich amber and deep blue by Jordie Bellaire, turns a simple wilderness scene into something quietly ominous and mythic. Kurt Busiek's The Autumnlands continues to deliver the kind of fantasy storytelling that rewards a closer look.
