Anne Rice's The Witching Hour #2 (Millennium/Comico)

This is a physical copy of 'Anne Rice's The Witching Hour' issue number 2, published around 1993. The comic features a vibrant painted cover illustration by John Bolton, depicting a dramatic underwater scene with a central male figure reaching upward toward light, surrounded by three ethereal female figures with long flowing blonde hair. The cover art is characteristic of the Gothic horror aesthetic popular in the early 1990s. The 'Millennium' and 'Comico' logos are visible in the upper-left corner, alongside a price of $2.50. The title text is rendered in a bold, serif yellow font against a deep blue and purple background. Regarding its physical condition, the comic appears to be professionally bagged and boarded, which has helped preserve its structure. The spine appears relatively straight, though there is visible light reflecting off the plastic, making a definitive grade difficult. The colors remain saturated and have not suffered from significant UV bleaching. There are minor signs of handling such as potential 'color breaks' or tiny stress lines along the spine edge common with age. The paper quality for this era transition from newsprint to higher-grade glossy stock, which appears to have maintained its integrity without significant yellowing visible from the cover edges.
