Air #1

A flight attendant in a mustard-yellow uniform drifts weightlessly through a sun-bright sky on M. K. Perker's dreamy cover for this 2022 Dark Horse collection — her red scarf and heels trailing as she arches backward into open clouds with an expression somewhere between surrender and wonder. G. Willow Wilson and M. K. Perker's Air Book 1 gathers their acclaimed series in one place, and if Neil Gaiman's cover blurb — comparing it to Rushdie sliding into Pynchon — doesn't sell you, that cover image absolutely will. A genuinely poetic work of magical realism that earns every bit of its praise.
