Sleepwalker #16

Part four of "Color Blindness" wraps up in this 1992 Marvel issue, with Bret Blevins's cover delivering a tense and unsettling tableau: a composed young man in a yellow sweater stands arms-crossed atop a tangle of gnarled, root-like tendrils, coolly declaring "Now we'll do it MY way!" while a green-skinned figure is ensnared and struggling within those same writhing masses below. The contrast between the man's calm confidence and the chaos beneath him makes for a genuinely striking image, and the small inset portrait of Sleepwalker's distinctive alien face in the corner adds an extra layer of intrigue. Bob Budiansky's four-part story reaches its conclusion here, with Blevins's linework giving the whole cover a wonderfully creepy, organic menace.
