SHADE THE CHANGING MAN BY PETER MILLIGAN AND CHRIS BACHALO OMNIBUS HC VOL 02 (MR)
Description
Shade the Changing Man Omnibus HC Vol 02 gathers Peter Milligan's surreal, mind-bending run starring the troubled magician of metamorphosis, with stunning art by Chris Bachalo, Mark Buckingham, and Richard Case. Spanning issues #38–70 and including key stories from early anthology issues, this collection deepens Shade's hallucinatory odyssey through shifting identities, memory, and reality. Milligan crafts a jagged, darkly funny take on power, memory, and alienation as the hero navigates neon-lit streets, warped consciousness, and dangerous allies. Bachalo's kinetic, fever-dream pencils sync with Milligan's razor-sharp narration, while Sean Phillips contributes cover art that hints at the twisting tonal palette inside. This omnibus also features a new introduction by Milligan and a substantial afterword and art gallery curated by Bachalo, providing context and celebration for one of comics' most influential, boundary-pushing visions. A must-read for fans of surreal, ideas-driven superhero storytelling.
