A Shining Beacon #[nn]

James Albon's watercolor artwork sets a quietly mesmerizing tone on this 2019 IDW release, depicting a blonde figure perched above a rain-soaked nighttime cityscape — cranes, glowing windows, and rooftops stretching into a brooding purple-black sky. The figure leans intently over a drawing board, working on a vivid blue-and-yellow illustration of two people in motion, art-within-art that gives the whole image a thoughtful, introspective charge. At $19.99, this is a beautiful object from a creator clearly in full command of atmosphere and color.
