Trees #3

Warren Ellis and Jason Howard's Trees continues its quietly unsettling science fiction series with a cover that speaks volumes through stark simplicity. Jason Howard's stark pink-and-black composition centers on a pregnant woman in silhouette, her wild white hair blooming against a textured rose background — with a handgun rendered as a bold graphic element across her midsection, creating an image that's equal parts vulnerable and tense. It's the kind of cover that earns a second look, and a third.
