DC Comics – Shade, The Changing Man #5 (November 1990)
Written by Peter Milligan | Art by Chris Bachalo | Inks by Mark Pennington
A bold and surreal entry from DC’s mature-reader era, Shade, The Changing Man #5 continues Peter Milligan’s acclaimed psychological and psychedelic reimagining of the classic Steve Ditko character. This issue, titled “Hollywood Feels So Good,” dives into themes of identity, madness, and celebrity through the mind-bending visuals of Chris Bachalo, years before his breakout X-Men work.
Vividly illustrated and packed with experimental storytelling, this issue is a standout from the early days of what would become DC’s Vertigo line — perfect for collectors of mature, cerebral comics.
This copy is in Very Fine/Near Mint (VF/NM) condition — crisp cover, excellent color saturation, and clean spine.
