Book of the Dead #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Man-Thing!" in Book of the Dead #2 (1994) delivers a haunting, visually striking tale from artist and inker Bernie Krigstein, whose stark, expressive style brings a chilling weight to a story about a scientist’s golden experiment gone awry. When a man’s serum-enhanced dog turns everything it touches to gold—first in generosity, then in greed—the resulting transformation becomes a silent, shimmering warning. Gray Morrow’s cover captures the moment of revelation, a golden statue frozen in time, a moral etched in metal.
In "The Warning!" from Book of the Dead #2 (1994), a scientist's experiment with a mythical serum gives his dog the power to turn anything it touches to gold—used not for wealth, but to help others. When a greedy intruder breaks in and frees the dog, a tense struggle ensues, and the creature's touch turns both men to gold. The resulting statue stands as a quiet, enduring reminder of the cost of desire.
