Epic #10
"Bain de sang" delivers a chilling, meticulously drawn tale from Bernie Wrightson, whose singular art and storytelling craft a slow-burn descent into visceral horror. The story follows a woman whose routine bath becomes the stage for a brutal act of self-defense, only to be haunted by the unsettling return of her husband’s decomposed remains—now animated and seeking vengeance from the septic tank where he lies. The cover by Clyde Caldwell captures the story’s grim intimacy with haunting precision.
