Caliber Presents #2

"Gideon's" is a haunting, standout story from Caliber Presents #2 (1989), written by Kyle Garrett and brought to life with stark, expressive art by Jim O'Barr, who also handled the inks and cover. It follows a 200-year-old vampire trapped in the body of a 12-year-old boy who enters into a dangerous agreement with the enigmatic shopkeeper of Gideon's—a place where souls are traded, desires are currency, and evil can be shaped. The cover, also by O'Barr, captures the story’s eerie, otherworldly tone with its stark, detailed imagery.
