The Best of DC #63

In "Once upon a Swine..", a wealthy man’s quest to live forever takes a delightfully absurd turn when he actually achieves immortality—only to find that endless years come with more than a few unexpected headaches. The story spins a wry, humorous tale of ambition, irony, and the surprisingly tedious side of never aging.

In 1850 Paris, sculptor Pierre Gouny is torn between his artistic ambitions and his wife Clothilde’s demands to focus on profitable gargoyle statues. When he secretly creates a living statue of a woman to escape their strained marriage, Clothilde destroys it—pushing him to a desperate act. Now, trapped in a twisted fate, Pierre’s own body becomes part of a gargoyle, forever frozen in stone.
