This article deals with Dark Horse Angel & Faith material published in oversized hardcover books (12.4 x 8.3 inches or 31.5 x 21 cm), printed on thick glossy paper, with a bookmark ribbon. This is the first volume of season 9, and also the first volume dedicated to the Angel & Faith series (see also the end of this article).
Angel & Faith Season 9 Vol 1 was published in April 2015 (ISBN: 978-1-61655-712-6, cover price 29,99$, 280 pages) and edited by Scott Allie. This edition is designed by Justin Couch and here we have a pink theme design (bookmark included). Second and third of cover feature the same illustration.

This edition comes with an illustrated dust jacket and front inner cover, both illustrated by Steve Morris (also in charge of the chapter break art). The inner back cover as well as the second and third of cover (same drawing) are illustrated by Rebekha Isaacs.
