Snow Angel started out a few years ago as David Chelsea‘s submission for 24-Hour Comics Day, an annual global challenge where comics writers and artists are tasked with creating a full 24-page comic in 24 consecutive hours. Chelsea, who reportedly holds the world record for the most 24-Comics created, then reworked the black and white story into a colorized version that was later serialized over three issues of Dark Horse Presents… in the Summer of 2011. Now, Chelsea’s quickly created comic book is finally getting the spotlight treatment at Dark Horse Comics with its very own 32-page full-color one-shot, simply titled Snow Angel.

Snow Angel introduces us to a little girl (whose name is never revealed), who can transform into a flying superheroine whenever she drops herself into the snow to form a snow angel. As the super Snow Angel, the little girl happily zips around saving the day, undertaking tasks both big (stopping thieves) and small (saving a cat stuck in a tree). Her mother, unfortunately, does not approve of her young daughter’s dangerous antics, but the little girl obviously loves her adventures. Now, something’s happened in the little girl’s life that could put an end to Snow Angel’s crime-stopping days.
