“Clef Dweller”

In "Clef Dweller," Chief Murphy and Nick dive into a mysterious cult nestled in a sleek, upscale neighborhood where patrons seek peace of mind—only to uncover a darker scheme. Written, drawn, and inked by Frank Thomas, the story unfolds with a sharp, noir-tinged edge as the Owl uncovers a web of secrets tied to celebrity targets. The cover, by Milton Caniff, captures the intrigue with its sleek, shadowed figures and a sense of hidden danger.
