The Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw #4

A bull terrier warrior reclines in tall grass, gazing skyward with quiet intensity, while above him a warm amber vision swirls with armed animal figures locked in conflict — it's a striking contrast of stillness and struggle that speaks volumes about the world Kurt Busiek and Benjamin Dewey are building. Jordie Bellaire's rich, burnished palette gives the whole image a lived-in, almost mythic warmth that suits this anthropomorphic fantasy world beautifully. Issue four of The Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw continues to show why this Image series was one of 2015's most visually distinctive offerings.
