Angels

Phil Laskey’s Angels is a singular, self-contained vision from The Hearts Guild, launched in 1987 with a single issue that remains the series’ entire published run. Laskey both writes and illustrates this intimate, creator-owned project, making it a distinctive artifact of its era—a quiet, personal statement rather than an ongoing saga. Its importance lies in its existence as a complete, unfiltered expression of one artist’s craft, a snapshot of independent comics at a moment when a single issue could carry the weight of a whole world.
