The Invisibles #11

Issue #11 of Grant Morrison and John Ridgway's DC Vertigo series arrives with a cover by Sean Phillips that sets an unsettling, painterly tone — a tangle of dark, grasping figures rendered in deep shadow and warm gold, with a gleaming brass instrument and a splash of liquid pulling the eye through a scene that feels simultaneously decadent and threatening. The story title "Royal Monsters" hangs in the lower corner like a quiet warning, perfectly suited to the series' blend of conspiracy, counterculture, and the genuinely strange. If you've been following The Invisibles, this August 1995 installment looks like exactly the kind of chapter the series does best.
