Gwandanaland Comics #2490

Gwandanaland Comics brings together Skywald's atmospheric adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe in this 2019 collection, headlined by a striking black-and-white cover illustrating "The Pit and the Pendulum" — a bound prisoner lies helpless on a slab as a massive descending blade looms overhead, skulls and skeletal figures lurking in the stone-walled darkness, while rats creep at the edges of the scene. A portrait of Poe himself anchors the upper left corner, his famous last words lending the image an eerie, literary weight. Fans of classic horror comics and Poe's enduring macabre imagination will find this a genuinely atmospheric package.
