Epic Illustrated #25
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Memoria: Chapter VI: Vessels of the Past" is a chilling, visually arresting tale from Bernie Wrightson, whose writing, art, inking, and the haunting color work of Michele Robinson bring a grotesque elegance to this disturbing story of domestic horror. The issue, with a cover by Jeffrey Jones that captures its eerie, surreal tone, explores a woman’s unsettling aftermath after a violent act, as the past returns in the most visceral form—through the very plumbing of her home.
In "The Potty's Over," a woman’s routine bath takes a dark turn when her husband’s sudden intrusion ends in his death—she’s relieved it happened in the bathroom, where cleanup is simpler. Now, years later, she’s startled by a strange sensation in the tub, as the decomposed remains of her husband begin to stir, drawn back from the septic tank to reclaim what’s his.
