Coffin Hill #15 (2015) - Page 1

This was the cover to Coffin Hill #15 from Vertigo Comics. The first title edited by Ellie Pyle who moved from Marvel to DC/Vertigo – someone willing to go west when many DC staffers chose not to.

The cover, as you can see features a "story so far" button. And inside we get a recap of the series.
