Babe #4

The finale of John Byrne's four-issue Babe miniseries under Dark Horse's Legend imprint arrives with one of the more unsettling covers of 1994 — a swirling blue composition crowded with multiple strange, distorted faces bearing mismatched, wide-staring eyes, rendered by Byrne with an eerie, almost dreamlike quality. The cover announces a guest appearance by the Proto Tykes, whose own oddly childlike visages blur together amid the churning azure background. It's a fittingly surreal send-off for a series that clearly wasn't afraid to venture into genuinely weird territory.
