Tales of Voodoo #5

In "The Rats Are Coming," a disgraced European scientist unleashes a serum that grants rats human-level intelligence, turning them into a cunning, organized force. With his army of hyper-intelligent rodents, he seizes control of his city, toppling the government in a silent, relentless takeover. As global authorities evacuate the population by sea, they order the city destroyed by nuclear blast—only to realize too late that a few of the rats have stowed away on the escaping ships, now carrying their threat into the wider world.
