Antoine Sharpe: The Atheist

Phil Hester and Kevin Mellon teamed up for this two-issue Desperado Publishing series, which launched in 2008 and follows the title character. The story centers on Antoine Sharpe, a professional skeptic and atheist who investigates paranormal claims, applying a rationalist's perspective to supernatural mysteries. This short but sharp run stands out for its clever reversal of the typical occult detective formula, grounding its horror in human skepticism rather than belief.
