The Books of Faerie: Auberon's Tale #1

DC's Vertigo imprint takes readers into the heart of Faerie with this 1998 miniseries opener, subtitled "The Boy Who Would Be King." The cover, illustrated by Hermann Mejia, centers on a blue-skinned fae youth dressed in ornate golden armor and furs, standing with quiet gravity amid a ring of strange, sprawling creatures and masked figures lurking in the shadowy background. Bronwyn Carlton, Peter Gross, and Vince Locke bring Auberon's story to life in what promises to be a richly atmospheric look at royalty, destiny, and the wild, unsettling world of Faerie.
