Titled "Critical Mass," this poignant cover by artist Eric Drooker shows a vast and eerily empty Grand Central Terminal. Sunbeams slice through the cavernous space, illuminating the iconic clock and a lone, small figure of a custodian mopping the floor.

Artistic Insight 

This cover captures the surreal atmosphere of New York City during the initial COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020. Drooker transforms a space known for its perpetual motion and crowds into a silent, monumental hall. The artwork is both a haunting document of a historic moment of stillness and a quiet tribute to the essential workers. The solitary cleaner represents the thousands of anonymous individuals who, despite the risks, continued to maintain the city's vital functions.
