Original Sins

A single-issue prestige project from Avalon Communications, Original Sins (1999) is a self-contained, creator-driven piece by James O'Barr, the visionary behind The Crow. The story distills O'Barr's signature gothic intensity into a standalone vignette, exploring themes of vengeance and loss through his stark, expressive artwork. While a brief entry in his bibliography, it matters as a concentrated example of O'Barr's uncompromising vision outside his most famous work.
