Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Shadowplay!" Collects Voodoo Child (2007) #1-6. Created by Weston Cage and Nicolas Cage. Written by Mike Carey. Art and cover by Dean Hyrapiet. Shadows can cloak the mysteries of the past, the deeds that should be forgotten, mistakes that should be ignored. But some shadows can't be held in the darkness for long, for some have a story to tell. Gabriel Moore is no ordinary child. He's not really living...but he's not really dead, either. In 1860, his father, Mason Moore, a plantation owner and abolitionist, is murdered by secessionists. As he and his mother attempt to flee, Gabriel is killed, but as he gasps his last breaths, a voodoo bokor casts a spell on him. He cannot save Gabriel from death entirely, but puts Gabe's spirit in limbo, where he must wait, until someone can summon him. Hardcover, 152 pages, full color. Cover price $29.99.
