In "Edge of Darkness," adventurer Larry Graham survives a cave-in in Peru—only to transform into a monstrous mole driven by a hunger for human blood. As he stalks the dark tunnels beneath the Andes, his descent into violence leads him to confront the rival who left him for dead. George Roussos handles both art and inks for the interior, while Nick Cardy delivers the striking cover.
