Dark Horse Presents #20
In "Fitful Sleep," Chris Warner delivers a quiet yet haunting tale of guilt and redemption, as the enigmatic Black Cross stumbles upon a dead man and, moved by a photograph of the man’s beloved Annie, chooses to honor his final moment with a proper burial. Rendered in Warner’s stark, expressive style—pencils, inks, and storytelling all by the same hand—this early Dark Horse Presents story stands out for its emotional weight and somber tone. The cover, by Paul Chadwick, captures the mood with a brooding, atmospheric image that hints at the journey within.
