Harlan Ellison's Dream Corridor #5

The fifth and final issue of Dark Horse's anthology adaptation of Harlan Ellison's fiction goes out on a suitably dramatic note, with cover art by Ron Brown depicting a massive, crimson-scaled winged creature swooping down over storm-tossed seas toward a small vessel and its lone, spear-wielding figure — a scene that captures the series' appetite for the strange and the epic. That deep red palette, framing the central vignette like a fever dream, gives the whole image an unsettling, otherworldly intensity entirely fitting for Ellison's work. Inside, the creative team of writer Harlan Ellison, artist and inker Eric Shanower, colorist Bernie Mireault, and letterer Sean Konot bring the anthology's 1995 run to a close.
