“Black Science 2, Part 1: Newton's Sleep”

A human skull dominates Brian Bolland's striking cover for this August 1998 DC Vertigo entry, its forehead bearing a Roman-numeral clock face with hands pointing near midnight — flanked by cryptic runic inscriptions — while vivid red feathers frame its base against a split blue-and-starfield background. The memento mori imagery feels perfectly calibrated to The Invisibles' blend of occult mystery and countercultural provocation. Grant Morrison, Chris Weston, and Ray Kryssing bring readers "Newton's Sleep," the opening chapter of the "Black Science 2" arc.
