The Spirit #13

Part three of "The Clockwork Killer" arrives with a cover by José Ladrönn that's genuinely hard to look away from — a white-coated figure meticulously painting the face of a lifelike mannequin head while a glamorous blonde woman in a fur-trimmed coat poses nearby, all surrounded by an unsettling workshop crowded with bald, blank-faced figures. Pinned to the wall behind them is a Central City Gazette headline screaming "Ellen Dolan Missing," placing the stakes front and center. David Hine and Moritat's 2011 DC First Wave series continues to push Will Eisner's Spirit into genuinely eerie territory with this striking tableau.
