Shade, The Changing Man #18 (1991) - DC Comics - FN/VF

Series Description:

Shade, The Changing Man is a DC Comics series, part of the Vertigo imprint, known for its surreal and psychological storytelling. It follows Rac Shade, an alien from the planet Meta, who uses his M-Vest to project a "Madness Vest" onto others, causing them to experience their inner turmoil. It's a trippy journey through the landscapes of the mind, often with disturbing and thought-provoking imagery.

It's like if David Lynch directed a superhero movie, and the hero's power was giving everyone an existential crisis. Fun for the whole family, probably.
