A Flight of Angels

In this lush 2011 one-shot from DC, writer Holly Black and artist Rebecca Guay weave a haunting fairy tale about a magical forest and the angels who dwell within. The story unfolds through a series of interconnected vignettes, exploring themes of power, sacrifice, and the boundaries between the mortal and the divine. Guay’s ethereal, painted artwork brings a dreamlike quality to Black’s lyrical prose, making this a standout example of fantasy comics from the Vertigo imprint.
