Preacher #2

Collecting the second stretch of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's acclaimed Vertigo series, this 2010 trade paperback gathers stories including "Came a Pale Rider" into one substantial volume. Glenn Fabry's cover sets the tone perfectly — a confident blonde woman and a collar-wearing preacher stand back-to-back in the foreground, cigarette in hand, while a crowd of onlookers fills the background behind them. It's a sharp, character-driven image that captures the mix of grit and dark charisma that makes Preacher such a compelling read.
