Northanger Abbey #5

In this standout issue of Northanger Abbey #5 (2012), Catherine navigates a sudden twist when a letter from Isabella reveals the collapse of her brother James’s engagement—just as she’s abruptly sent home by the General for reasons unknown. Henry, determined to clear the air, catches up with her to confess his feelings and reveal the truth behind his father’s cold treatment: a malicious letter from John Thorpe has been the real culprit. Written by Jane Austen and Nancy Butler, with evocative art by Janet K. Lee and colors by Nick Filardi, the issue captures the novel’s sharp wit and emotional tension. The cover, by Julian Totino Tedesco, adds a haunting touch to the story’s growing intrigue.
