Cherubs! Paradise Lost is a fantasy graphic novel by British artist Bryan Talbot who wrote the script and provided the layouts, with the finished art by Mark Stafford.[1][2] The first book, or 'cantica' was published by Desperado Publishing in November 2007 and the first and second books were combined, completing the story, in a hardcover edition published by Dark Horse in 2015.[3]

Talbot describes it as "an irreverent fast-paced supernatural comedy-adventure."[4]

Plot

In "Cantica I: Paradise lost", on the trail of the murdering archangel Abaddon, the Cherubs get stuck in the mind-numbing mediocrity of Limbo - but not for long. They escape and make it to New York City where, looking for signs and portents, they foil a mugging and are befriended by Mary, a sexy 'exotic dancer'. But she has a problem: her boss is Frankie Dracula and his vampire minions are out to kill her!

In "Cantica II: Hell On Earth", Mary and the Cherubs are drawn into a battle with the massed forces of the Hell whilst attempting to foil Abbadon's plans to instigate the apocalypse.
