The Minx #4

Peter Milligan and Sean Phillips bring their Vertigo series The Minx to its fourth issue, opening a new story arc subtitled "The Monkey Quartet." Sean Phillips's cover is a striking image against a deep blue, star-flecked sky: a monkey drawn in warm amber tones draws a bow and arrow with fluid, ribbon-like energy trails swirling around it, all framed by an enormous golden crescent moon. It's an arresting, dreamlike composition that signals the kind of offbeat, mythologically charged storytelling that made late-'90s Vertigo so compelling.
