In "Death, the Pale Horseman!", the ancient and peaceful resting place of the Mongo horde is shattered when reckless Chinese soldiers disturb their tomb, unleashing a spectral force of retribution. Written by Leo Dorfman and brought to life with haunting detail by artist Art Saaf—both in pencils and inks—this eerie tale unfolds with a chilling sense of dread. The cover, a striking collaboration by Nick Cardy, captures the grim spectacle in vivid, gothic style.
