This fourth collection of Rick Veitch’s Eisner-nominated dream comics contains a complete pair of graphic novellas, originally serialized in Roarin’ Rick’s Rare Bit Fiends #21-25 , exploring the deepest mystical dimensions of dreaming. Subtleman focuses on what Veitch calls shamanic dreams ; that illuminate and reveal a greater reality hidden beyond our five senses. Drawn over a twenty-five year period, Subtleman chronicles meetings with remarkable dream people, fantastic creatures, living myths and stray gods while conveying the experience of touching higher dimensions and the bliss of the lucid dream state. The Art Of Mercurius details Veitch’s personal investigative dreamwork in pursuit of a deeper communion with psyche and nature, characterized by visionary experiences, synchronicities and the appearance of autonomous dream characters right out of 16th century alchemy.
