Shade, the Changing Man #19

Jamie Hewlett delivers a wonderfully unsettling holiday image for this January 1992 issue: a hulking, wild-bearded Santa Claus strides through a snowstorm, armed with a golf club and bristling with strange trinkets, while a mob of grotesque green creatures crowds behind him and a demonic face lurks near his feet. The tagline "It Sees You When You're Sleeping" sets the tone perfectly — this is the kind of Christmas that only Shade, the Changing Man could conjure. Peter Milligan, Chris Bachalo, and Mark Pennington are on hand inside, promising the title's signature blend of the surreal and the deeply weird.
