The Beauty #7

The Beauty #7 delivers the series' signature brand of body-horror dread through a quietly unsettling cover by Jeremy Haun — a figure in a yellow jacket and plaid shirt stands mouth agape, face drained to an ashen pallor, an eerie glow burning from within their torso. The image captures everything that makes this 2016 Image series so compelling: the tension between ordinary life and something deeply, physically wrong lurking beneath the surface. With Haun and Jason A. Hurley writing, and Mike Huddleston and John Rauch handling interior art and color, the creative team continues to prove that the scariest stories are the ones that look almost human.
