Flinch #16

Vertigo's horror anthology Flinch closes out its run with issue #16 (January 2001), and Richard Corben's cover art delivers an immediately unsettling image: a smiling young woman cradles what appears to be a monstrous, grotesque infant wrapped in a blue blanket and holding a small rattle, while a second figure in a floral hat looks on — the cheerful domesticity of a new mother sharply undercut by the creature in her arms. Inside, Mike Carey and Craig Hamilton bring "The Wedding Breakfast" to life alongside contributions from Boatner, Bond, Gonzalez, and Zezeli, making this a rich anthology package. It's the kind of cover that stops you cold before you've even cracked the spine.
