The Dreaming #18

Part four of "The Crown" arrives in this DC Black Label entry from The Sandman Universe, with a cover by Yanick Paquette that speaks volumes about the chaos swirling through the Dreaming. A dark-haired woman clutches her head in anguish at the center of the image, rendered in stark grayscale, while luminous iridescent ribbons spiral above her against a star-flecked void — carrying within them colorful silhouettes of figures in flight and struggle, and a bird soaring free. Simon Spurrier scripts and Marguerite Sauvage handles the full interior art, making this a visually distinctive chapter in one of DC's most atmospheric ongoing series.
