In "The Trophy!", a chilling tale from Tales from the Crypt #25 (1951), the macabre world of a wax museum becomes a stage for vengeance, as the line between art and horror blurs. Written by Al Feldstein and brought to life with haunting detail by artist Graham Ingels—whose inks define the story’s grim atmosphere—this issue explores the dark consequences of obsession and cruelty. The cover, a striking collaboration by Feldstein in both pencils and inks, perfectly captures the story’s eerie tone.
