Angel #4

Dark Horse's Angel #4 brings the hit WB series to the page in genuinely unsettling style, with cover art by Jeff Matsuda and Andy Owens depicting the vampire detective face-to-face — almost cheek-to-cheek — with a massive, glowering demon, while small winged and scurrying creatures swarm the edges of the composition. The tight framing between Angel's steely resolve and the creature's gaping maw creates an immediate sense of dread perfectly suited to a story titled "The Changeling Wife." Written by Christopher Golden with interior art by Eric Powell and colors by Guy Major, this 2000 issue is a solid showcase for Dark Horse's commitment to capturing the show's brooding, supernatural atmosphere in comics form.
