In "The Vengeance Vat," junk dealer Zane thinks he’s rid himself of his past—disposing of his brother and an old witch woman with no thought for the consequences. But when his wife transforms into the very witch he thought he’d buried, Zane is haunted by visions that blur the line between memory and madness. Drawn by Mike Sekowsky with inks by John Celardo, this chilling 1953 tale unfolds in a world where guilt has a price, and the past refuses to stay dead. The cover, by Nick Cardy, captures the dread of a man trapped by his own secrets.
