Gysertimen #1
"Dødsikker!" from Gysertimen #1 (1987) delivers a delightfully twisted twist on a game-show premise, with Al Feldstein and Peter Nørgaard crafting a story that’s equal parts absurd and unsettling. George Evans handles both art and inks, bringing the eerie tension to life as a seemingly ordinary red ink manufacturer becomes the center of a chilling revelation. Jack Davis’s cover, with its sharp, satirical flair, perfectly captures the issue’s darkly comedic tone.
