Shade, the Changing Man #24

Issue #24 of Peter Milligan and Chris Bachalo's Vertigo-era DC series arrives in June 1992 with a cover by Brendan McCarthy that is nothing short of a psychedelic fever dream — a massive, towering automobile built from layered hubcaps, chrome fins, and stacked body panels looms against a swirling yellow background, with a pair of intense eyes peering just above the roofline. The story title "Auto Golem" hints at something mechanical and monstrous, and McCarthy's bold, pop-art treatment of the assembled car-creature makes it feel like Detroit machinery has taken on a strange, unsettling life of its own. "Off the Road Part Four" promises a satisfying chapter in what has clearly been a wild ride.
