About the series

In this short-lived but distinctive 1990s series from Fantagraphics, Bill Willingham—both writer and artist—crafted a darkly whimsical fantasy set in a hidden, magical version of the English countryside. Over three issues, Coventry follows a mysterious, otherworldly conflict as a young man discovers his connection to a secret realm of faeries and ancient powers. Willingham's intricate, storybook-style art and lyrical storytelling give the series a haunting, folkloric atmosphere that stands apart from his better-known work. Though brief, Coventry remains a cult curiosity for fans of Willingham's early, creator-owned vision.
