“The Bride's Borrowed Time”

In "The Bride's Borrowed Time," a desperate criminal in Calcutta steals a mysterious drum and awakens a djinn named Airi, who grants him three wishes. With his final wish, he seeks to vanish from the law—only to be taken far beneath the earth to Airi’s fiery underworld domain. Lou Cameron’s art and Rocco Mastroserio’s inks bring this eerie tale to life, while Frank Giusto’s cover captures the story’s haunting, otherworldly tension.
