Thumbprint

A taut, single-issue crime thriller from IDW, Thumbprint (2013) delivers a stark, self-contained story of a young woman whose past as a soldier in Iraq catches up with her when a victim of her wartime actions begins a campaign of psychological terror. Written by Joe Hill and illustrated by Vic Malhotra, the comic distills the moral complexities of modern warfare into a tense, intimate horror story about guilt and consequence. It stands as a potent, standalone graphic novella that showcases Hill's knack for blending supernatural dread with stark human drama.
