Leave It to Chance #11

Issue #11 of this charming all-ages adventure series from Image/Homage pits young Chance against something far more unsettling than your average rink brawl — the cover's subtitle "Terror on Ice" says it all, as a pale, wild-eyed ghoul in hockey gear looms menacingly over a wide-eyed Chance, clutching her with a bony, bandaged grip while a hockey stick and ice skate tumble into the foreground. Chance's small orange dragon companion swoops in from the upper right, hinting that she won't be facing this frozen nightmare alone. Paul Smith's pencils and George Freeman's inks bring a wonderfully creepy-yet-playful energy to the scene — perfect storytelling from the team behind this consistently entertaining series.
