Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children #9

From DC's Piranha Press imprint, this 1990 mature-readers anthology delivers another unsettling gem from writer Dave Louapre and artist Dan Sweetman. The cover, fully rendered by Sweetman, presents a moon-like sphere hanging in a dark, star-flecked void — its cratered surface giving way to a gaping, tooth-lined maw at its center, equal parts beautiful and deeply wrong. It's a perfect visual introduction to "By the Light of the Screaming Moon," and a strong reminder of why this series earned its wonderfully contradictory title.
