Proof #21
In "Julia: Part Four," the mystery of Springheel Jack deepens as a mechanical beast from Tesla’s experiments goes rogue at the circus, leading to a violent clash with McKraken. Meanwhile, Julia departs the circus, seeking a new path in Russia, while Proof and Mi-Chen-Po face off against a second, fully cybernetic version of the creature. Written by Alex Grecian and illustrated with sharp, atmospheric detail by Riley Rossmo—whose distinct pencils and inks define the cover—this issue blends steampunk dread with personal stakes, all rendered in Dave Casey’s evocative colors and Blambot’s precise lettering.
