Comic Speedline #41

"Sanfte Regen werden kommen" is a haunting, elegantly paced tale from 1994, written by Ray Bradbury, Al Feldstein, and Kristian Lutze, and illustrated with stark precision by Wally Wood, whose inks lend the story a timeless, almost ghostly clarity. It unfolds as a quiet, chilling allegory of a self-sustaining house that carries on its routines long after its human inhabitants have vanished—its systems running on, unaware of the silence that now fills the rooms. The cover by Wally Wood captures the story’s melancholy precision, a visual echo of a world that keeps moving while its people are gone.
