Sleepwalker #3

The cover of this 1991 Marvel series pulls you right in: a young man in street clothes reaches out toward Sleepwalker with a desperate word balloon — "But this is only a dream— right?!" — while Sleepwalker coolly fires back, "Tell that to them!" That "them" is the overwhelming crowd of Marvel heavy-hitters surrounding the pair, including Wolverine, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk, and more, all rendered with Bret Blevins's clean, energetic line work. "Theater of Madness!" promises exactly what the cover delivers — a dreamscape where the boundaries between real and unreal are alarmingly hard to find.
