North 40

In 2010, DC Comics released North 40, a single-issue horror-western written by Aaron Williams with striking, atmospheric art by Fiona Staples. The story unfolds in a small, isolated town where a supernatural event transforms ordinary residents into monstrous beings, blending cosmic dread with rural Americana. Though brief, this one-shot stands out as an early showcase of Staples' distinctive character design and moody storytelling, hinting at the visionary style she would later bring to Saga.
