In "A Horse's Tale," a quietly absurd tale from 1945, a hypochondriac’s growing concern about Mr. Andrews’ health sets off a chain of increasingly bizarre mishaps—each one making the man question his own well-being. Bill Vigoda’s expressive art brings the escalating farce to life, with every panel heightening the tension between belief and doubt.
