Horror #59

In "Das Schachspiel des Teufels," chess master Alan Blake finds himself locked in a life-or-death game on a cursed board, where each captured piece exacts a real-world toll. When his queen is taken, his fiancée collapses—only to cling to life as long as Blake holds the power to promote a pawn to a queen.

In "Ein lebender Alptraum," former boxing champion Jerry Samson is manipulated into believing he’s lost his strength—his power stripped away not by injury, but by a secret syndicate that exploits his identity as the reincarnated biblical Samson. With his hair cut and his confidence shattered, he’s pushed into one last fight, only to be guided by the enigmatic Phantom Stranger toward a chance at redemption.
