Abe Sapien: Dark and Terrible #2

Spinning out of the pages of Hellboy, this second Dark Horse omnibus volume collects Abe Sapien's solo saga under the creative team of Mike Mignola, Scott Allie, John Arcudi, Max Fiumara, Sebastián Fiumara, and Dave Stewart. The cover is a brooding, beautifully composed image — a bandaged, glowing-eyed Abe stands in the foreground clutching a vivid red salamander, while a stern human face looms large in the shadows behind him, surrounded by cryptic red rune symbols and what appears to be a labeled cassette tape reading "Abe Session #32." At $34.99, this 2018 collection offers a substantial dive into one of the Hellboy universe's most compelling figures, rendered in the Fiumaras' moody, distinctive linework and Stewart's atmospheric color work.
