The Gravediggers Union #9

Issue nine of The Gravediggers Union closes in on a single, quietly haunting image — a lone shovel planted in a mound of dark earth beneath a turbulent, snow-flecked sky. Wesley Craig's cover work trades spectacle for atmosphere, letting that solitary tool speak volumes about the grim, blue-collar world at the heart of this Image series. It's a beautifully restrained piece of design that makes the title's tension feel utterly earned by 2018.
