“The Man With the Net”

In "The Man With the Net," a chilling experiment in animal behavior takes a dark turn when a scientist’s theory about survival instinct leads to a horrifying act of vengeance. After testing the limits of desperation on gorillas, he applies the same twisted logic to his own marriage—trapping his wife and her lover in a cave with only one escape route and an ax, forcing them to choose between each other. Ed Winiarski’s stark, expressive art brings the story’s psychological dread to life, while Russ Heath’s cover captures the grim, primal tension of the tale.

A scientist theorizes that if one animal can save its life by killing its mate, it will do so. He tests this theory on gorillas by suspending bananas out of their reach and the male does in fact strangle his mate in order to use her body as a ladder to reach the fruit. When he discovers his wife is cheating on him, he stitches the two lover's shoulders together and dumps them in a cave filled with hungry hyenas and an exit wide enough for only one to fit through and leaves them ...an ax.
