The twilight children - Gilbert Hernandez

Comics legends Gilbert
Hernandez (Love and Rockets),
Darwyn Cooke (DC: THE NEW FRONTIER) and Dave Stewart (Hellboy) craft a haunting and unforgettable tale of magical
realism with THE TWILIGHT CHILDREN.

No one knows what the
mysterious glowing spheres are, or where they come from. The only thing that
matters to the residents of the beachside village where the orbs manifest is
what they do when they appear.

They blind children and
imbue them with psychic abilities. They destroy homes, and make entire
families disappear. They attract scientists, government experts and secret
agents, each with their own agenda. And they inflame small-town
passions-secret lovers, simmering resentments-to a fever pitch.

Now, they've brought
Ela. Materializing on the beach just as mysteriously as one of the orbs, this
beautiful woman says nothing, but seems to harbor unspeakable power. Will she
help to save the town, or destroy it? Or is it Ela herself who is really in
danger?
