Written by Carl Wessler and brought to life with stark, expressive art by Graham Ingels and bold colors by Marie Severin, this story unfolds with a quiet tension that lingers long after the final panel. The cover, a striking illustration by Jack Davis, captures the eerie stillness of the moment just before the truth breaks through.

Everyone knew that Sam Crowder was a mean, penny-pinching old crab, who saw himself as tough as nails. He didn't like little Annie selling lemonade from her stand in front of the store, but would not believe her when she said that her lemonade pitcher was mysteriously full every morning, claiming that a good fairy filled it up every night. Unknown to anyone, it was Sam Crowder who secretly did the filling every night, not wanting to ruin his bad reputation with the people.
