In "A Child Shall Lead Them!", writer John Albano and artist Jack Sparling deliver a haunting tale of mystery and quiet revelation, as George Wheemy encounters a stranger with a peculiar request—one that leads to a startling discovery about Mr. Letterman, a man long thought to be ill. With moody art by Sparling and sharp lettering by Jean Izzo, the story unfolds with a sense of eerie stillness, all framed by Jim Aparo’s striking cover.
