Cool Art: 'Wytches' #1 Variant Cover by Becky Cloonan

Variant cover by Becky Cloonan for 'Wytches' #1, the new horror comic series by Scott Snyder and Jock from Image Comics out in October.

Across the globe, century after century, men and women were burned, drowned, hanged, tortured, imprisoned, persecuted, and murdered for witchcraft. None of them were witches. They died protecting a terrible and hidden truth: witches, real witches, are out there. They are ancient, elusive, and deadly creatures that are rarely seen and even more rarely survived.
