The Dreaming #19

A brooding, atmospheric blue-toned close-up of a shadowed face dominates Dave McKean's cover for this December 1997 installment of DC/Vertigo's The Dreaming, with a glowing light source and scattered cylindrical objects visible in the foreground and a darkened, Gothic building looming in the background. The "Souvenirs" arc reaches its third chapter here, with Caitlín R. Kiernan writing and D'Israeli handling both pencils and inks on the interior. It's a moody, unsettling package that captures the twilight strangeness this Vertigo series does so well.
