Tales of the Darkness #3

Tales of the Darkness #3 (1998) delivers a chilling blend of gothic mystery and surreal storytelling, as Alexandre and Maximillion uncover a hidden lair of the Brotherhood of Darkness. When the Brotherhood’s enigmatic leader, Sonatine, arrives with a promise to read a lost book by Cervantes—before killing Alexandre—the story shifts to a haunting parallel: Cervantes and Sancho Panza take refuge in a barn now haunted by the gypsy Michaelangelo Estacado, fleeing a past entanglement with a maid. With art by Clarence Lansang and Victor Llamas on the cover, and a layered, atmospheric palette from Tyson Wengler and the Buccellato team, this issue weaves myth and menace with eerie precision.
