Gospel #5

The cover of Gospel #5 tells you everything you need to know about the stakes: a massive, smoldering bull-like creature with glowing amber eyes looms over two young figures — one dangling desperately by a rope while the other lies collapsed across a giant outstretched hand, set against a blazing amber sky. Will Morris's artwork strikes a striking balance between fairy-tale warmth and genuine dread, making the peril feel both intimate and enormous. If this Image series has been on your radar, this 2023 installment looks like a compelling reason to catch up.
