“If!”

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.

An artist saves another artist from throwing himself out a high rise window and gives him money to finish his masterpiece. When the beneficiary of the kindness attempts to repay the artist who gave him the money to finish his painting, he takes one look at the painting and throws himself out the window. Saddened, the man reflects he was spared a similar fate months ago as he unwraps the deceased artist's painting and sees it is identical to his own.
