Hunter: The Age of Magic #24

This penultimate chapter of Vertigo's mature-readers series carries a haunting, dreamlike cover by Chris Bachalo — a glowing, spiky-haired young man in white drifts weightlessly through a deep blue void, surrounded by floating stones and a battered, paint-stained jacket that seems to have taken on a life of its own. The eerie calm of the image suits a story titled "Waking Albion" perfectly, hinting at something suspended between worlds. With Dylan Horrocks writing and Richard Case on interior art, this 2003 issue brings the series' mystical atmosphere to a quietly unsettling peak.
