Cryptozoic Man #3

Tied to AMC's Comic Book Men, this 2014 Dynamite series takes a genuinely unsettling turn with issue three's cover, where a figure rendered entirely in twisted balloon animals — complete with a snarling bear head and a coiled balloon serpent — faces off against a towering, skull-adorned villain splattered in vivid crimson. The contrast between the playful balloon-art aesthetic and the surrounding horror imagery is striking, giving the cover a darkly surreal quality that's hard to look away from. If you've been following this odd, ambitious series, issue three looks like it's leaning hard into the weirdness.
