Névrose #4
In "L'oiseau de mort," a desperate man flees to his brother’s isolated home, seeking shelter as his nephew’s life slips away. As an old legend about a monstrous black bird that claims the dying begins to unfold, the line between myth and terror blurs. Written by Bob Toomey and brought to life by E. R. Cruz with inks by Noly Panaligan, the story’s haunting atmosphere is matched by Luis Dominguez’s striking cover.
In the quiet dread of a forgotten house, a man fleeing his past finds himself trapped by a chilling legend: a giant black bird said to carry the dying to their end. As his nephew lies near death, the myth takes on terrifying form—leaving the man to wonder if the bird chooses its victims, or if it's already chosen him.
