“The Riddle of the Skull”

In "The Riddle of the Skull," Bill Everett crafts a haunting tale of love and transformation as Peter Maher, newly gifted with gills, seeks to live beneath the waves with the water-breathing Elsa. But when she undergoes a reverse operation to breathe air, their bond is tested in ways neither expected. A striking cover by Joe Maneely and Carl Burgos captures the eerie mystery of the story, all rendered in the distinctive style of Everett’s singular artistry.
