Sir Edward Grey, Witchfinder: In the Service of Angels #4
In "In the Service of Angels [Chapter 4]," Sir Edward Grey continues his relentless pursuit of the supernatural, pausing only for a moment’s respite with a beer and a quiet recollection of his past — the deeds that earned him a knighthood and the infamous title that shadows him like a curse. With Mary at his side and a new lead on the trail of a dangerous killer, Grey is drawn into the orbit of Martin Gilfryd, a man tied to the one figure who might have stopped the creature before it began. Written by Mike Mignola and illustrated by Ben Stenbeck, with colors by Dave Stewart and letters by Clem Robins, the cover by Mike Mignola captures the story’s grim, gothic tone in a striking, atmospheric image.

Having survived another encounter with the creature, Sir Edward and Mary pause for an afternoon beer. Grey briefly recalls the exploits for which he was knighted by Queen Victoria and the London newspapers dubbed him Witchfinder -- the same name given the infamous Henry Hood some 200 years before. The Captain then brings Sir Edward to Martin Gilfryd, the disciple and supposed murderer of the one man who might best have aided in the creature's destruction.
