The Silent Invasion #1

Two shadowy figures loom beside a sleek automobile in Michael Cherkas's cool, angular cover art — a scene drenched in Cold War unease that perfectly sets the tone for this tale of fear and paranoia tearing through America. With its bold two-tone palette of blue and yellow, this 2018 NBM collection titled Red Shadows promises exactly the kind of tense, mid-century atmosphere the tagline teases. Cherkas's precise linework gives the whole thing a noir-inflected gravity that feels both timeless and unsettling.
