Abe Sapien #1

Spinning out of the world of Hellboy, Abe Sapien finally steps into the spotlight with his own ongoing series in this 2013 Dark Horse launch. The cover by Sebastián Fiumara — colored by Dave Stewart — presents a haunting image of Abe seen from behind, his glowing eyes visible as he gazes up at a ghostly vision of two figures: a 19th-century gentleman and a pale, scarred face staring forward with hollow white eyes, a document bearing the name "Ichabod Sapien" floating nearby. It's a quietly unsettling composition that hints at questions of identity and buried history, setting the tone for "Dark and Terrible" with real atmospheric craft.
