The Eighth Seal

The Eighth Seal, a 2016 one-shot from IDW, presents a self-contained supernatural thriller in which a team of Vatican investigators confronts a global conspiracy tied to the biblical Apocalypse. The issue is most associated with writer and artist Tom Mandrake, whose moody, detailed artwork and dense storytelling define this single, complete narrative. As a standalone graphic novel in comics form, it showcases Mandrake’s singular vision for a dark, theological horror story.
