Cover art for Kaiju P.I.: Case File 01 - The Egg by Max Pinelli, published by Dauntless Stories. The bold, high-contrast design immediately draws attention, blending noir detective vibes with a pulpy, sci-fi monster aesthetic. The characters exude personality—an insectoid detective in a futuristic suit, a brooding investigator with a confident smirk, and an eerie, monstrous entity looming in the background. The typography is striking, enhancing the pulp fiction-inspired atmosphere. The composition hints at mystery, intrigue, and action, setting the stage for a stylish, hard-boiled detective story in a world of kaiju and crime.
