Shade, the Changing Man #28

Part two of "The Changing Woman" arc arrives in this October 1992 Vertigo-era gem from Milligan, Doran, and Pennington. Brendan McCarthy's cover is a genuinely unsettling collage of distorted, melting twin faces screaming from a churning yellow-and-black void, scattered bones drifting through the chaos, while smaller inset panels along the edges show Shade's red-dreadlocked form in various states of surreal transformation. It's a bold visual statement that captures the series' gleeful commitment to psychological strangeness at its most vivid.
