The Books of Magic #72

A haunting winter twilight sets the mood for this Vertigo entry, with MW Kaluta's cover depicting a dark, otherworldly figure perched atop a great cauldron amid a stand of bare, moon-lit trees — presiding over a crowd of fantastical beings and mortals gathered below, including a striking armored woman at their center. The atmosphere is equal parts folklore and dread, perfectly suited to a story titled "The Lord of The Hunt." Written by Peter Gross and drawn by John Ridgway, issue #72 continues one of Vertigo's most thoughtfully crafted magical odysseys.
