North 40

In a quiet corner of the DC Universe, Aaron Williams and Fiona Staples crafted a single-issue tale of supernatural horror set in a rural American town. North 40 (2015) follows ordinary residents as they grapple with the aftermath of a mysterious event that transforms both their world and themselves. Staples' evocative, detailed artwork brings a visceral, grounded intensity to this compact, self-contained story. It stands as a striking, standalone exploration of cosmic dread from two acclaimed creators.
