Chu #10

Dan Boultwood's cover for Chu #10 delivers a wonderfully playful visual puzzle: our grinning, black-clad heroine swings through an urban skyline, knife in hand, while below her a figure at an easel paints the very scene unfolding above — a canvas-within-a-cover that gives the whole image a charming, self-aware twist. John Layman and Boultwood bring their signature wit to this 2021 Image series with a composition full of kinetic energy and warm, rosy color. If you've been following Saffron Chu's adventures, issue #10 looks like a fine moment to see how art and action collide.
