Written by Thor Carlyle and brought to life with stark, expressive art by Jack Alderman, this 1944 story unfolds with a tense, personal gravity, set against the backdrop of a world at war. The cover, a striking piece by Alex Schomburg, captures the mood with a dramatic, shadowed figure silhouetted against a burning skyline.
