Black Orchid #[nn]

In this striking 2013 issue of Black Orchid, Neil Gaiman crafts a haunting tale of identity and legacy, with Dave McKean’s unforgettable art—pencils, inks, and colors all by his own hand—bringing a dreamlike, eerie atmosphere to every page. When the current Black Orchid’s cover is blown and she meets a sudden end, a new consciousness stirs at Dr. Sylvian’s home, while Carl Thorne’s return from prison sets a chilling new threat in motion. The cover, also by McKean, captures the story’s eerie tone with its stark, surreal imagery.
