The Dreaming #25

From DC's Vertigo imprint comes this 1998 installment of The Dreaming, featuring a hauntingly surreal cover by Dave McKean — a weathered, mask-like owl face looms above an ornate cradle or vessel, a large dark feather resting across it against a textured, dreamlike background. The story, "My Year as a Man," is crafted by writer Peter Hogan and artist Chris Weston, promising the kind of quietly unsettling narrative this series does so well.
