A Nightmare on Elm Street #[nn]

Freddy Krueger fills this 2007 trade paperback collection with unmistakable menace — his scarred, snarling face looms large beneath that battered fedora, razor-gloved hand thrust toward the viewer against a grimy, industrial nightmare backdrop, rendered with gripping detail by cover penciler Tony Harris and inker Jim Clark. The creative team of Dixon, West, and Almond brings Elm Street's dream stalker to comics form, with interior art by Tim Bradstreet and colors by Grant Goleash giving the story a fittingly dark, atmospheric texture. If you have any appetite for horror comics done with genuine craft, "Freddy's War" is a very good place to start.
