Darque Passages

A four-issue miniseries from the late 1990s, Darque Passages was published by Acclaim Comics (the Valiant imprint of the era). Written by Christina Z and Jeff Gomez, with moody art by Leonardo Manco, the series explores the supernatural origins and shadowy history of the mysterious Master Darque, a key figure in the Valiant universe. It matters as a dark, character-driven deep dive into one of comics' most chilling sorcerers.
