About the series
Peter Milligan and Chris Bachalo's surreal, psychosexual reinvention of a forgotten DC hero is collected in this two-issue omnibus from 2025–2026. The series follows the alien fugitive Shade, who wields the Madness cloak—a force that warps reality—as he haunts the American landscape, blending horror, dark humor, and raw emotion. Milligan's dense, poetic scripts and Bachalo's wildly expressive, fluid art made this a cult touchstone of DC's late-80s/early-90s Vertigo era, redefining what a superhero comic could be.
