The Beauty #3

The Beauty #3 from Image Comics delivers one of 2015's most unsettling cover images — a red-haired woman in a wide-brimmed hat, her pale face cracked like porcelain and mouth agape, wearing a small animal-skull pendant that hints at something deeply wrong beneath the surface allure. Jeremy Haun's linework and John Rauch's coloring give her an eerie, almost statuesque quality that perfectly captures the series' premise of beauty as something sinister. If this cover is any measure, writer-artist Haun and co-writer Jason A. Hurley are crafting a horror series with genuine atmosphere and visual sophistication.
