The Invisibles #14

Grant Morrison's The Invisibles Vol. 2 continues with issue #14, featuring a Brian Bolland cover that commands attention: a self-possessed young blonde woman in a pink corset and gleaming black latex pants and boots sits coolly against a patterned wall, her expression equal parts amusement and challenge. Bolland's meticulous linework gives the image an almost photographic richness, perfectly in keeping with the Vertigo line's mature, stylish sensibility of 1998. With Morrison writing and Chris Weston and John Stokes handling interior art, this chapter — titled "Only Lovers Left Alive" — promises the series' signature blend of counterculture intrigue and sharp craft.
