The Invisibles #3

Grant Morrison's The Invisibles Vol. 2, No. 3 (April 1997) arrives with a striking Brian Bolland cover that's hard to look away from — a towering, white-haired figure wearing a mirrored face mask adorned with a lipstick kiss stands over a red-curly-haired woman in clown makeup and studded costume, the pairing radiating equal parts mystery and menace. The visual tension between the two figures feels perfectly suited to this DC Vertigo series, which thrives on the collision of the surreal and the sinister. Phil Jimenez and John Stokes bring the interior pages of "Sorted (Black Science Part Three)" to life, continuing Morrison's mind-bending narrative for mature readers.
