The Invisibles #16

Grant Morrison's The Invisibles #16 (June 1998) arrives with one of the sharpest covers of the series — Brian Bolland's painting of a pierced, shaven-headed figure in a leather jacket, a cigarette trailing smoke beside him, his blood-splattered mod-target t-shirt punctuated by bullet holes while he raises a single finger with cool, unsettling calm. The stark "BRIT POP IS DEAD" headline splashed across the yellow-green background gives the whole image a wry, provocative edge that feels entirely at home in Morrison's anarchic world. With pencils, inks, and that razor-precise rendering all from Bolland, this is a genuinely striking package for the "Scorpio Rising" chapter inside.
