Angel #5

Dark Horse's 2000 tie-in to the hit WB series brings writer Christopher Golden together with cover artist Christian Zanier for this moody fifth issue, "Earthly Possessions." The cover arrangement is striking — a dark-haired woman gazes out in the foreground while three faces loom large behind her: Angel in his human guise at center, flanked by a blue-toned demonic figure on one side and a snarling, glowing-eyed vampire visage on the other, with a solitary figure standing watchfully in the background below. It's a compelling composition that captures the show's blend of brooding humanity and supernatural menace.
