Nocturnals: Spectres page 3 painted page by Dan Brereton (2001)

I love Dan Brereton's work and have known him for many years now and consider him a friend. His creator-owned Nocturnals work is some of his best stuff. So whenever I see some of the pages come to market I tend to bid on them. I got lucky on this one as I didn't have much to spend this last round of C-link auctions, but this one made me happy to get and was the best of the bunch that I bought this round.

This was collected in the Nocturnals Archives hardcover Vol 2: Dark Forever & Other Tales (which collects mini-series The Dark Forever and Gunwitch: Outskirts of Doom, one-shot "Troll Bridge", and the stories "Spectres" and "Beasts") That explains why it was listed as Nocturnals The Dark Forever and why I couldn't find it when I checked the book. So the story is from the collected hardcover edition.
