Leave It to Chance #8

This eighth issue of Image/Homage Comics' charming adventure series sets the mood perfectly with Paul Smith's cover: young Chance is caught in a tense moment, a hulking armored figure looming over her from behind while a small orange bird-like creature watches from near a crescent-moon window — all set against a neon-lit mall storefront glowing with a purple night sky. The story title "The Phantom of the Mall!" promises exactly the kind of supernatural urban mystery that makes this series such a delight. Robinson and Smith's creative partnership gives the book a wonderfully cinematic energy that holds up beautifully nearly 25 years on.
