Aleister Arcane #[nn]

Steve Niles brings his signature taste for the macabre to this 2004 IDW original, Aleister Arcane, illustrated throughout by Breehn Burns. The cover sets an immediately unsettling tone — a wild-eyed, grinning figure with pale, disheveled hair holds up a glowing skull, his expression dancing somewhere between showman and something far more sinister. It's the kind of image that promises old-school horror atmosphere with a genuinely creepy edge.
