“The Tale of a Salem Witch”

In "The Tale of a Salem Witch," a group of explorers seeking the secret of head-shrinking are captured by the madman Maximo, who shrinks them to doll size and prepares to sever their heads. Bob Forgione’s stark, expressive art brings the perilous plight of the tiny adventurers to life, as they struggle to outwit their captor—only to face a new threat in the form of giant spiders. The cover, also by Forgione, captures the story’s eerie, suspenseful tone with a striking, shadowed image of the doomed explorers.
