Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with eerie precision by artist Tony DiPreta, the story unfolds as a chilling twist on publicity gone wrong—leaving only a skeletal killer and a town in denial. The cover by Sol Brodsky and Christopher Rule captures the dread with a haunting, shadowed figure that perfectly sets the tone.
