“Image in Wax”

In "Image in Wax," a haunting tale from 1971, the restless spirit of television executive Paul Williams reaches out to Doctor Thirteen after a fatal car plunge, claiming his death wasn't suicide but murder. Written by Len Wein and illustrated with eerie precision by Tony DeZuniga, the story unfolds through the eerie lens of a wax museum and a shattered mirror, where truth is as fragile as the figures on display. The cover, a striking piece by Neal Adams, captures the moment of dread with chilling clarity.
