In "Tower of Blood," writer Len Kaminski and artist David Cullen deliver a chilling tale of vengeance and hidden guilt, where a ruthless biker gang meets a grim fate at the hands of the enigmatic Master of Silence. As the final survivor uncovers the shocking truth—that their own parents orchestrated the hit to restore family honor—the line between justice and retribution blurs in a story as brutal as it is haunting. Cover by Robert Brown and Colin MacNeil, with inks by Rey Garcia and Colin MacNeil, adds a stark, atmospheric edge to the issue’s dark tone.
