“The Hallowe'en Spirit of 1947: The Burning of P.S. 43”

In "The Hallowe'en Spirit of 1947: The Burning of P.S. 43," Will Eisner crafts a chilling mystery set in a small town where a dare turns deadly—kids challenge Hazel to prove she’s a real witch by making the school burn down. With Eisner’s signature storytelling and art, and Grandenetti’s dynamic inks, the question lingers: who set the fire, and why? Cover by Will Eisner.
