Baltimore #2

A cloaked, spear-wielding figure stands resolute against a blood-red sky while an enormous skeletal vampire looms behind him, wings spread wide and glowing eyes blazing — it's a striking image of grim determination set against overwhelming supernatural menace. Scattered gravestones, tiny village rooftops, and a crescent moon flesh out the haunted atmosphere beneath these two towering figures. Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden's Baltimore, or, The Steadfast Tin Soldier & the Vampire delivers gothic horror with a beautifully moody visual sensibility that makes this 2015 Dark Horse volume hard to put down.
