Play Special #16

A quiet second honeymoon in the Scottish highlands takes a strange turn when Peter Parker and Mary Jane, visiting a relative’s estate, begin encountering faeries and ghostly figures—only to uncover a far more grounded danger beneath the misty hills. Written and illustrated by Charles Vess in his signature lush, dreamlike style, this special issue blends folklore with the everyday, all rendered in rich, hand-colored detail. The cover by Vess captures the haunting beauty of the story’s mood, a perfect match for its eerie, intimate mystery.
