Hunter: The Age of Magic #23

This penultimate chapter of Vertigo's thoughtful series arrives with a quietly haunting cover by Chris Bachalo — a young man reclines in bed, his glasses resting beside him, while a Picasso-esque painting of a woman floats above him like a waking dream, all set against a layered backdrop of celestial charts and half-legible handwritten text. The tagline "the art of love" anchors the image perfectly, suggesting a meditation where romance and imagination blur together. Dylan Horrocks and Richard Case continue their mature, literary take on magic and identity in this 2003 Vertigo gem.
