Fishtown

Set in a gritty, supernatural version of Philadelphia's Fishtown neighborhood, this 2008 IDW one-shot follows a young ex-con who discovers a mysterious tattoo that may hold the key to an ancient, otherworldly conspiracy. Written and illustrated by Kevin Colden, the issue blends stark crime drama with eerie folk horror, establishing a distinctive, moody tone that has kept the series in readers' minds despite its single-issue run.
