The Tale of Halima

Set in a starkly rendered medieval world, The Tale of Halima is a two-issue fantasy series from Fantagraphics, published in 1992–1993. Artist Joseph Baker brings the story of its lone, eponymous heroine to life with a distinctive visual style. Though brief, the series stands as a focused, creator-driven work from an era when the publisher was championing idiosyncratic, non-superhero comics.
