Alan Moore's The Courtyard in Color, TPB #[nn]

Alan Moore's Lovecraftian short story gets the full-color treatment in this Avatar Press trade paperback, adapting his prose work with a script by Antony Johnston and art by Jacen Burrows. The cover sets a quietly unsettling tone: a lone, hooded figure in a long coat stands with their back to us, facing ornate wrought-iron gates that open onto a star-filled, midnight-blue courtyard shadowed by bare, grasping trees. It's the kind of image that makes you feel like you're standing at a threshold you probably shouldn't cross — which is exactly the right mood for Moore's brand of cosmic dread.
