A Flight of Angels

In this lush 2011–2012 one-shot from DC, a mysterious angel found wounded in a forest becomes a catalyst for a haunting debate among woodland creatures—each offering a different tale of its origin, from the mythic to the tragic. Written by Holly Black with luminous painted art by Rebecca Guay, who also co-writes, A Flight of Angels weaves a lyrical, folkloric meditation on beauty, violence, and the nature of divinity. A standout for Guay's ethereal watercolor style and Black's dark fairy-tale sensibility, it remains a quiet gem of DC's more experimental, creator-driven output.
