Aria #1 NM The Soul Market, Image 2001

Aria: The Soul Market #1 — Kildare, an expatriate princess of Faerie and the star of the Aria series, investigates when Goodfellow (the mischievous sprite from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream) turns up in New York. Her search leads her to an underground "soul market" where immortal human spirits are bought, sold and traded, while her friend Ondine becomes dangerously obsessed with gaining a soul of her own. This issue kicks off the Soul Market arc with lush painted cover art and continues the series’ blend of myth, urban fantasy and mystery.
