Book Description

Angel December 7, 2001
Angel searches an abandoned amusement park to rescue a little girl from a vicious gang of kidnappers. But the kidnappers arent the only things Angel must contend with he, the girl, and the thugs have to fight their way past an army of demonic rats! In 'Vermin' we find out why Angel has such a dislike for the furry little buggers. Then in 'Little Girl Lost, ' Angel investigates a series of bizarre deaths caused by spontaneous combustion. He soon links the deaths to a teenage runaway and a demon spellcaster. Whats the connection? Angel better find out or he might be the one on the hot seat.


Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Adult/High School-Based on the eponymous television series, this full-color pair of horror tales smoothly translates characters and plots from one medium to another. Angel, a one-time vampire and now a force bent on saving the weak and dispensing with the evil, takes on antagonists trying to harm children. In the first story, kidnappers have taken a poor little rich girl to an abandoned amusement park, a place riddled with rats as well as criminals. In the second, a spell cast on a girl condemns her to incinerate anyone she touches. The artwork is slick and eye-popping, often presenting significant passages of the plot without added text to support the images. Although scenes remain ever chaste, blood flows liberally, and the viciousness of the rats and of the hard-hitting rogues is explicit. Those unfamiliar with the television version of the character, but who have an appetite for the macabre, will have no trouble falling into step with the tales.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, February 7, 2003
This review is from: Angel: Autumnal (Paperback)
This collection of comic stories featuring that "tall dark and brooding avenger" Angel captures the soul (excuse the pun) of the series perfectly. Personally, I find Angel's nightmare at the beginning concerning Angelus' manipulation and murder of his own sister to be the most compelling imaging to come out of either the show or the comic series. This book features different artists, and at first I railed against the incontinuity, but I now feel that the disparate styles add enormously to the quality of the volume. I highly recommend this book to any Buffy or Angel fan.
