The Dreaming: Waking Hours #3

Part three of "The Bard and the Bard" arrives with a cover by Marcio Takara that's as dreamlike as the series itself — a woman's teal-rendered profile fills the foreground, her mind seemingly overflowing with a vivid swirl of imagery: a bearded figure, a sword-topped throne, a skull, curling horns, butterflies, and tendrils of flame and antler all tumbling together in warm oranges and reds. It's a striking visual metaphor for a mind caught between waking and dreaming, perfectly suited to this Sandman Universe Black Label series. G. Willow Wilson, Nick Robles, and Mat Lopes continue their collaboration, promising another lush, layered chapter in 2020's most atmospheric corner of the DC cosmos.
