A Man's Skin #[nn]

From writer Hubert and artist Zanzim, this Ablaze graphic novel carries an immediate sense of dark fairy-tale unease. Zanzim's cover — framed by an ornate blue border of serpents, birds, and fantastical creatures — depicts a pale, red-haired young woman seated on a bench within a grand arched window, holding what appears to be a limp, hollow human skin draped across her lap, a castle and hazy landscape visible beyond. It's a haunting, painterly image that signals something deeply unsettling lurking beneath the surface of a seemingly medieval world.
