Get ready for a hauntingly complex ride with The Pale Knight, the all-new six-issue miniseries that plunges readers deep into the deadly world of the Black Death, where the lines between life, death, and morality blur in the most chilling way! England, 1349. Sir Hugh de Grey, the Pale Knight, returns from war to find a land ravaged by the Black Death, and his son dying of the plague. When he prays to God to save his son’s life, it is not God who answers—but Death himself. And Death is willing to cut a deal. Written by the acclaimed Peter Milligan (Enigma, Shade the Changing, XStatix) and illustrated by Val Rodrigues (Deep Roots, Unnatural Order), with colors by Cristiane Peter, and letters by Dave Sharpe, The Pale Knight immerses readers in a world ravaged by plague and despair.
