Sandman #33

Part two of "A Game of You" arrives in this December 1991 installment of The Sandman, featuring a haunting Dave McKean cover that sets an unmistakably unsettling tone. A gaunt, hollow-eyed figure cradles what appears to be a skeletal ribcage in his hands, rendered in deep amber and violet hues, while shadowy birds take flight in the background — an image that feels both dreamlike and deeply ominous. Neil Gaiman and Shawn McManus continue their collaboration on this arc, promising the kind of layered, atmospheric storytelling that made this series essential reading in 1991.
