The Exterminators #21

From a bug's-eye view, a wide-eyed man stares directly at us while a massive cockroach fills the foreground — it's a genuinely unsettling perspective that sums up this Vertigo series perfectly. Behind him, a "Mr. Creamy" truck barrels down a gritty urban street bathed in an ominous orange sky, with a police cruiser in pursuit and dark smoke rising in the distance. Philip Bond's cover art for this November 2007 issue of "Crossfire and Collateral: Chapter Three" delivers that rare blend of darkly comic dread that makes The Exterminators such a distinctive corner of the Vertigo lineup.
