Baltimore #2

From the creative team of Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden, Ben Stenbeck, and colorist Dave Stewart comes this brooding second volume of the Baltimore saga. The cover, dated 2011 by Mignola himself, sets an immediately unsettling tone: a grim, weapon-laden figure stands resolute beneath massive church bells dripping with blood, while a crescent moon hangs cold in the murky sky and a cluster of rotting, skeletal creatures lurk and crouch at his feet. It's a beautifully atmospheric piece that captures the gothic horror spirit of the series with striking economy and dread.
