Out of the Shadows #12
In "Hand of Death," French gambler Henri Monard, down on his luck in Northern Africa, stakes everything on a fabled Tuareg treasure hidden in the Sahara. After a brutal quest and a bloody return to Paris, his newfound wealth brings only dread—haunted by the ancient curse of the Djenoun, he finds luxury is no shield against the past. Alex Toth’s stark, expressive art and Mike Peppe’s inks bring the desert’s menace to life, while Herb Field’s lettering tightens the tension. The cover, by Mike Roy, captures Monard’s unraveling in shadowed silhouette.
