The surreal superhero epic penned by Peter Milligan is back in print, now collected in omnibus format for the first time!

Along with fellow classics like The Sandman, Animal Man, and Hellblazer, Shade, the Changing Man-a subversive reinvention of a character created by comics legend Steve Ditko-helped usher in the era of DC's Vertigo imprint, populated by stories with a distinctly mature sensibility and fearless creative vision.

Now, Shade, the Changing Man-written by acclaimed scribe Peter Milligan and with art by Chris Bachalo, Mark Pennington, and more-is collected in the omnibus format! Shade, the Changing Man starts with Kathy George's encounter with Shade's arrival on Earth from his home dimension of Meta-in the body of her parents' killer. From there, Shade and Kathy journey into America's collective unconscious to find the evil known only as The American Scream. From there, it's a mind-bending journey into the heartland of a nation, in the most celebrated work of Milligan's prolific career!

Collects Shade, The Changing Man #1-27, along with a brand-new introduction by Peter Milligan.
