Harlan Ellison's Dream Corridor #4

Issue four of Dark Horse's anthology series adapting Harlan Ellison's fiction presents a cover by Jane Mackenzie that pulls you right into an atmosphere of unease and wonder. A shirtless young man crouches at the base of massive stone columns as a translucent, ghostly white figure looms to his right, while a dark-haired woman climbs the stonework above — and below them all, pale disembodied hands reach upward from the shadows. It's a quietly unsettling image that captures the dream-logic strangeness Ellison's work is known for, and with Eric Shanower illustrating the interior framing sequence, this 1995 series continues to be a compelling showcase for comics adaptations of literary SF.
