Black Orchid #13

The haunting cover by Dave McKean dominates this September 1994 entry in DC's Vertigo line, presenting a fragmented, painterly close-up of a human face layered with jagged shards and ghostly city imagery — moody and unsettling in McKean's signature style. Hovering in the upper corner, a violet figure suggests the supernatural presence of Black Orchid herself, rendered through collage-like abstraction rather than straightforward superhero imagery. With Dick Foreman writing, Rebecca Guay on interior art, and Stan Woch inking, this issue — titled "Meta-Therapy" — promises the thoughtful, atmospheric storytelling that made this Vertigo series stand apart.
