“The Box”

Reaching its milestone fiftieth issue in 1998, The Books of Magic arrives with a hauntingly beautiful cover by Michael Wm. Kaluta that sets a dreamlike, unsettling tone — a pale, fair-haired figure hovers above a dark-haired boy in a red jacket, both with eyes closed, while red-eyed creatures writhe and descend through a cascade of golden light above them. John Ney Rieber and Peter Gross bring their story "The Box" to this landmark number, and as a bonus the issue includes a free preview of a new series of Books of Magic stories. A rewarding package for any fan of Vertigo's most enchantingly strange corner of the DC universe.
