Shade, the Changing Man #5

In "Hollywood Babble On," Shade, the Changing Man #5 delivers a surreal, self-aware dive into the absurdity of celebrity and correspondence, as letters from fans like Keith Topping, Jon Lyndon Wojewocki, and Brian M. Moore spark a playful, meta conversation with writer Tom Peyer. With Brendan McCarthy’s wild, expressive cover capturing the issue’s offbeat energy, this 1990 gem blends humor and introspection in a way only Shade could—offering a rare peek behind the curtain of comics themselves.
