The Phantom Stranger #25

In "Dance of the Serpent," the enigmatic Phantom Stranger ventures into a realm where ancient rituals and forgotten gods stir beneath the surface of reality, guided only by cryptic omens and a sense of impending dread. Written by Mike Pellowski and Len Wein, with moody, dynamic art by Jim Aparo—whose distinctive pencils, inks, and lettering shape every page—this 1975 tale blends supernatural mystery with a haunting sense of inevitability. The cover, by Luis Dominguez, captures the eerie allure of the story with a striking, sinuous image that hints at the serpent’s dance before the first page even turns.
