Dark Horse Presents #2
In "Under the Desert Stars," a haunting letter from attorney Sharon Youdelman sets Ms. DiPalma and Mr. Brown on a quiet, unsettling journey as they confront Max, an aging vampire whose final wish is to end his suffering. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and brought to life with moody, atmospheric art by Mark Badger, this issue blends melancholy and mystery beneath a desert sky. The cover by Paul Chadwick captures the story’s brooding tone with stark, evocative detail.
In "Cortege," Ms. DiPalma and Mr. Brown are drawn into a haunting request from attorney Sharon Youdelman: to carry out a final wish for Max, an aging vampire succumbing to AIDS. The story unfolds with quiet dread, probing the weight of mercy and the cost of a life lived in shadows.
