In "Death Calls Twice for a Deadman," writer Michael Fleisher and Russell Carley, with art by Fred Carrillo, deliver a chilling tale of deception and the supernatural, as Ronnie Kuhn—drawn into a mysterious circle of women claiming to be the Black Orchid—uncovers a truth far more dangerous than he imagined. The story, illustrated with eerie precision and lettered by Esphid Mahilum, unfolds under the haunting cover by Jim Aparo, whose inks deepen the mystery of a cult built on illusion.
