Modern Tales #1

Kerry Callen's Halo and Sprocket arrives in a collected Modern Tales edition, bringing together the charming mismatched household of a halo-wearing angel, a boxy robot with extendable arms, and their thoroughly bemused human roommate. The cover says it all: the angel casually brandishes a flaming sword indoors while the robot looks on with wide-eyed curiosity and the woman reacts with understandable alarm — a perfect snapshot of the series' warm, comedic collision between the supernatural, the mechanical, and the mundanely human. Written and drawn by Callen (with Stefan Heitzmann co-writing), this 2005 release is a genuinely funny and lighthearted read for anyone who enjoys slice-of-life comedy with an otherworldly twist.
