Adventures into Terror #16
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In "One Must Die!" from *Adventures into Terror* #16 (1953), a twisted experiment with gorillas leads a desperate man to enact a brutal test of loyalty—using his own wife and her lover as subjects. Trapped in a cave with only one escape and a single ax between them, the two must face a choice that defies love, trust, and survival.
In 1769, executioner Francis Tourneau toils to perfect the art of capital punishment under King Louis XVI, seeking a more efficient method. When physician Joseph-Ignace Guillotin offers a design for a mechanized decapitation device, Tourneau puts it into use—only to find himself on the wrong end of his own invention when revolution erupts and the Bastille falls.
