As the tension escalates, a former captor sets him free, forcing Coley into a violent clash while Lon and Darryl bear witness. Meanwhile, Coley grapples with the emotional toll of violence and the growing rift with Kit, who feels she can no longer keep up with his world—though he pleads for her to stay just long enough to witness a crucial voodoo ritual. Written and illustrated by John Blackburn, this 1991 issue delivers a gripping, character-driven tale with a dark, atmospheric edge, all rendered in his distinctive, intense style. The cover by John Blackburn captures the story’s ominous mood with striking, moody visuals.
In "The Dark Island," Coley returns to the mysterious Voodoo Island with Kit, Harry, and Lon, seeking escape from the world’s noise. As he recounts his past ordeal with the enigmatic Rev. Swinborne, he reconnects with Maria and faces a new threat: Lulu’s warning of the dangerous sorceress known as the Black Widow. When a shark attack endangers Kit and Lon, Coley risks everything to save them—pushing himself to the edge of survival.
In "Island Heat," tensions flare aboard a sun-drenched sailing ship as Coley shares intimate moments with both Tina and Mark, while on shore, Felix mocks Tina’s boyfriend Darryl for his overconfidence. When Kit leaves after Darryl and Lon grow close, the pair is ambushed by a mysterious islander, and later, Kit and Harry reflect on the tangled relationships around them—Harry’s quiet wisdom offering a rare pause in the storm.
In "Blood in the Sky," Coley and Maria ignite the deck of a sailing ship with a dance that blurs performance and desire, but as the night unfolds, Kit slips away to Maria’s cabin while Coley remains in the spotlight. When fire erupts and Coley is taken, Harry is left to fight through chaos and danger on a remote island, where a shadowy figure warns him of what’s to come.
In "The Black Widow," Coley finds himself trapped in a dangerous game of power and desire when the enigmatic Black Widow takes him captive before his voodoo instincts begin to turn the tide. As her followers scatter and a former captor makes an unexpected choice, Coley is drawn into a charged moment with another man, watched closely by Lon and Darryl. Later, the weight of violence and the fragile bond with Kit weigh heavily on him—she’s ready to leave, but he pleads for just one more night, to witness the ritual that defines him.
In the quiet hush of a moonlit village, Coley performs a ritual beneath the golden cock’s gaze, drawing Kit into a spell neither can easily break. As the air thrums with unseen energy, their connection deepens in ways that leave her trembling, caught between desire and something darker.
