Shade Showdown

"Shade Showdown" from Shade, the Changing Man vol.2 #16 (DC, 1991) by Peter Milligan, Chris Bachalo and Rick Bryant

Mature Readers Shade faces off against the American Scream in the first mega-story arc of the series that would become on the first books in DC's new Vertigo imprint. Trademarks: Crazy covers, a memorable supporting cast, and Shade "changing" each time Milligan killed him off, at one point turning the book into Shade the Changing Woman. I should reread the whole thing some day.
