Proposition Player #6

The concluding chapter of Vertigo's six-issue series Proposition Player arrives with a cover by John Bolton that feels genuinely dreamlike — a dark-haired young man reclines pensively atop billowing golden clouds while a blonde woman in a bronze dress looks upward from below, the two figures suspended together in an open blue sky. Bolton's painterly rendering gives the scene a quiet, melancholy grandeur that suits a story by Bill Willingham about souls, bargains, and the space between worlds. If you've been following this Willingham-Guinan-Randall collaboration, this is the issue you've been waiting for.
