Judge #2529
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Husband Sneaks Home Late," a 1930 issue of Judge, C. D. Russell crafts a quietly unsettling tale of deception and fleeting refuge. When Pete stumbles upon a tramp with a pie and follows his lead to a house marked by names on the wall, he finds temporary shelter—only to be met with a bitter surprise after accepting a slice. The story’s eerie simplicity is matched by Russell’s own art and inks, while Joseph Morgan’s cover captures the moment with a touch of melancholy and mystery.
In "Free Pie," Pete stumbles upon a fellow tramp who points him to a house where other wanderers have left their marks—proof, it seems, of a generous welcome. The woman inside offers him a pie, but after eating, Pete feels unwell and quietly erases his own name from the wall.
