Songs for the Dead #[nn]

Songs for the Dead Book One from Vault Comics is a handsome 2018 graphic novel collection that pairs a darkly whimsical title with equally striking presentation. The cover, framed in an elegant border of bones and skulls, features a young, lightly armored adventurer mid-stride — sword in hand, caught in a moonlit dash that feels equal parts urgent and playful. Sam Beck's art sets a confident tone, blending fantasy atmosphere with a touch of gothic charm that makes this one easy to pick up off the shelf.
