Venom: The Hunger #2

The stark black-and-white cover by Ted Halsted and Greg Adams makes an immediate impression — a monstrous, symbiote-wreathed Venom looms enormously across the composition, his form dissolving into churning tendrils of darkness, while a terrified red-haired figure in a straitjacket cowers helpless in the corner below. The subtitle "In the White Room" sets an unsettling institutional tone that pairs perfectly with that trapped, vulnerable figure against the tiled wall. This September 1996 installment of Venom: The Hunger looks to be a genuinely tense chapter in the series, with Len Kaminski writing and Ted Halsted on interior art.
