“The Grateful Dead!”

In "The Grateful Dead!", Alpha Flight confronts the horrifying return of Deadly Ernest, a man whose touch brings death, after Lionel's ill-fated experiment reanimates him. With Heather captured and the team outmatched, Nemesis makes a final, desperate stand—giving Puck her sword to save her, before vanishing into ash. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated with stark, atmospheric flair by Mike Mignola—whose distinctive cover pencils and inks define the issue's haunting tone—this 1986 Marvel classic delivers a chilling, emotionally charged showdown.
