Harlequin Valentine

In this haunting 2001 one-shot from Dark Horse, Neil Gaiman and John Bolton reimagine the classic commedia dell'arte trickster for a modern audience. The story follows Harlequin as he presents his own heart to a bemused young woman, setting off a strange and unsettling chain of events. Bolton's lush, painterly style brings a gothic romance to Gaiman's lyrical, folkloric storytelling, creating a single-issue gem that lingers in the mind.
