Speak of the Devil #1

Gilbert Hernandez brings his distinctively fluid linework to this Dark Horse miniseries, opening with a cover that immediately sets an unsettling mood. A composed young woman with dark, sweeping hair gazes away in profile, unaware that something with glowing yellow eyes peers through the gap in her bedroom curtains behind her. That quiet, creeping dread — danger lurking just out of the protagonist's sight — makes issue #1 of Speak of the Devil a compelling starting point for fans of Hernandez's deeply human yet quietly sinister storytelling.
