Occurrences: The Illustrated Ambrose Bierce

A single-issue prestige comic from Mojo Press (1997), Occurrences: The Illustrated Ambrose Bierce adapts the macabre short fiction of Ambrose Bierce, with Debra Rodia providing the literary adaptation and Michael Lark delivering moody, illustrative artwork. The series distills Bierce's classic tales of the strange and unsettling into a visual medium, offering a compact but potent entry point for readers unfamiliar with his work. It matters as a showcase for Lark's early career and as a thoughtful, period-appropriate homage to a master of American gothic storytelling.
