☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Color the Dead Black," big game hunter Richards is summoned to colonial Rajahpur to deal with a deadly tiger, only to uncover a chilling secret when the beast’s gold-filled teeth are recognized by the local doctor. Written by Michael Fleisher and illustrated with stark precision by Don Perlin, this 1974 DC tale blends suspense and mystery in a story that lingers long after the final page. The cover by Nick Cardy captures the eerie tension of the moment, a striking visual that hints at the dark truths beneath the surface.
When big game hunter Paul Richards arrives in Rajahpur to hunt a fearsome tiger, he doesn’t expect the beast to be more than a beast—until the dead animal’s gold-filled teeth reveal a chilling secret. Dr. Northrup, the local physician who summoned him, knows more than he lets on, and something ancient stirs beneath the surface of the jungle. With Mordred, the host, caught in the web of a mystery that defies reason, the hunt takes a darker turn.
