Doom Patrol #56

This June 1992 entry in Grant Morrison's celebrated Doom Patrol run carries a haunting Simon Bisley cover that's equal parts tender and deeply unsettling — two entwined figures dissolve into each other against a decayed, painterly backdrop, while a dangling red telephone handset and a discarded rotary phone scatter across the foreground alongside what appears to be a mechanical arm. The imagery feels like a fever dream pulled straight from the book's reputation for surrealist unease, with Bisley's painterly textures giving everything a raw, organic dread. "Down in the Well" promises exactly the kind of story that made this era of Doom Patrol so compellingly strange.
