Pentacle

Pentacle burst onto the scene in 1997 with the launch of The Coven #1, a debut crafted by the celebrated team of Jeph Loeb and Ian Churchill for Awesome Entertainment — one of the late '90s' most ambitious indie publishers. A product of comics' Modern Age energy and bold experimentation, this character shares the page with a genuinely atmospheric roster: Spellcaster, Fantom, Blackmass, Golem, and Phenomena, suggesting a world steeped in dark, supernatural intrigue. The run was brief, burning bright across 1997–1999, which only adds to the collector's appeal of tracking down these issues. For fans of that era's edgy independent scene, Pentacle is a compelling piece of the puzzle.
