The Vault of Horror #2

"Silver Threads Among the Mold!" is a chilling tale from The Vault of Horror #2 (1990), written, drawn, and inked by Johnny Craig in his signature gothic style, with haunting colors by Marie Severin and crisp lettering by Jim Wroten. When sculptor Cedric vows to immortalize his beloved Christine in silver, his dream takes a sinister turn after she vanishes and a former suitor seeks to buy the statue—only for a hand to fall off, leaving the truth chillingly unresolved. The cover, also by Johnny Craig, captures the story’s eerie elegance in stark, expressive lines.
