“Used to Bes”

Issue #25 of DC/Vertigo's The Books of Magic arrives in 1996 with a dreamy, star-dusted cover by Chris Bachalo that perfectly captures the series' blend of wonder and melancholy. A bespectacled young boy sits amid tumbled classical ruins and cherubs, absorbed in a glowing magical tome, while a dark-winged, ankh-wearing figure perches quietly behind him beneath a crescent moon. Writer John Ney Rieber and artist Peter Gross bring their story "Used to Bes" to life inside, making this a compelling chapter in one of Vertigo's most imaginative ongoing series.
