The Crazies #3

A sickly green, hollow-eyed figure looms across the cover of this third installment of Image's horror series, his grasping hands reaching toward the viewer while a crowd of similarly afflicted faces churns behind him — it's unsettling imagery that captures the infectious dread at the heart of The Crazies. Marc Andreyko and Vincent Spencer bring George Romero's nightmare scenario to comics with real atmosphere, and this cover makes a compelling case for how effectively that tension translates to the page.
