In "If!", a chance encounter on a rooftop sets a haunting tone as an artist intervenes to save another from despair, offering both money and hope to finish a masterpiece. When the recipient later tries to repay the favor, he’s driven to the same tragic end—only to discover, in a quiet, devastating moment, that the painting he’s just seen is a mirror of his own. Sol Brodsky’s art, inked by Bill Walton, brings a stark emotional weight to this poignant tale, while Carl Burgos’s cover captures the story’s chilling tension in a single, striking image.
