Corpse Knight #1 (of 6) – Cover B: Jae Lee Variant (Mature Readers)
A dark new legend is born. Corpse Knight #1 marks the debut of one of the most anticipated Mature Readers limited series of 2026 — a six-issue saga that promises the kind of gothic, atmospheric, and deeply unsettling storytelling that defines the very best of dark fantasy comics. Cover B is a masterclass in mood and menace, featuring the hauntingly beautiful variant artwork of Jae Lee — one of the most iconic and instantly recognizable artists in comics history, whose shadowy, painterly style and extraordinary compositional instincts make every cover he produces a standalone work of art.
A Jae Lee variant on a debut issue of a Mature Readers limited series is exactly the kind of combination that serious collectors circle on their pull lists months in advance. Whether you’re a Jae Lee devotee, a dark fantasy enthusiast, or a Mature Readers collector who knows a prestige debut when they see one, Cover B of Corpse Knight #1 is essential.
