“Killer Killer Part One Storm Gird”

In "Killer Killer Part One Storm Gird," Alan Grant and Dave Taylor deliver a tense, atmospheric tale as Arnold Wesker, the Ventriloquist, battles haunting visions of Scarface while imprisoned in Blackgate. Trapped in a prison where even the walls seem to whisper, Wesker’s fractured mind clashes with the real threat of a mysterious vigilante—Killer Killer—whose true motives remain shrouded in shadow. Cover by Tom Taggart captures the eerie intensity of the story, where the line between puppet and master blurs, and freedom comes at a price.

The Ventriloquist (Arnold Wesker) is tormented by dreams of Scarface while in Blackgate prison. On his own in Gotham, Rhino has been unable to learn ventriloquism to make Scarface talk. When Rhino is confronted by three vengeful hoods, he is finally able to make Scarface speak. Back in prison, the authorities believe that the guard's death was actually a mistake. A Vigilante known as Killer Killer was actually trying to kill Wesker. Rhino and Scarface make a deal with The Penguin to break The Ventriloquist from jail. Wesker is freed by the Penguin's men and reluctantly takes Scarface in hand.
