The Beauty #19

Image's unsettling horror series continues with issue #19, and Thomas Nachlik's cover delivers the series' signature blend of glamour and dread in striking fashion. A woman in a vivid orange trench coat and wide-brimmed hat raises one pallid, cracked hand while her face — elegantly made up yet visibly fracturing — is caught in an anguished, open-mouthed cry. The tension between polished style and bodily deterioration captures everything The Beauty does so well, making this a compelling entry point into one of Image's most thought-provoking ongoing series.
