  Ah the early 90s, when a Shade the Changing Man series could endure for seventy issues. What a time that was.

  For me this was the BEST Vertigo series of all time. It was further out than even Morrison's stuff at times, and Bachalo's art was sublime, and for me the definitive Shade artist. His faces are always so expressive. And Milligan never got the recognition he really deserved. It also had the best covers in all of Vertigo.

  Shade is one of the most surreal, experimental, subversive and progressive comics that has ever been released by a mainstream publisher and one of the most unique that&apos;s ever existed.<br>Also, regrettably, is one of the most overlooked.<br>I&apos;ve loved it from the moment I first read it.<br>Thank you for dedicating an entire video to it, Alan. 👍🏻👍🏻

  I feel like shade served the inspiration for the Absolute version of Martian manhuter

  The discussions of sexuality, mental illness, self loathing, all really resonated with me when I read it last year

  “Lenny’s Story” has always been my favorite issue of SHADE: the tale of her life as she and Kathy are sorting out what they (or Kathy) want to be is classic, beautiful storytelling. Along with Bachalo’s artwork, tho tale presents Lenny’s own long-term insanity being integrated into Shade and Kathy’s, giving us a beautiful, unique character to also fall in love with ❣️🖖♾

  Loved this series do much that along with The Sandman, Hellblazer and Bookd of Magic became my first Vertigo reads. This series though underrated was nominated for best ongoing series in the 1994 Eisner Awards. Great analysis of it. This and Enigma were Vertigo cornerstone titles. Thanks a lot.

  Easily one of the most underappreciated Vertigo books. I had a friend that lent me the whole run. Even if he didn&apos;t like moving past 50, he took it into some interesting places. Damn, I miss this era.
