With art and inks by Wood himself and lettering by Artie Simek, the story unfolds with eerie precision, leading to a trap set in the heart of Hamand’s own castle. The cover, a striking piece by Bernie Wrightson, captures the moment of dread as the past rises to claim its vengeance.
In the shadowed halls of a conquered kingdom, King Hamand ventures into a forgotten tomb, seeking the crown of a long-dead druid. There, he awakens a spirit who takes the guise of his trusted wizard, Abarac, and begins a dangerous game of deception. As the castle walls close in, Hamand finds himself ensnared by a trickster who wears the face of his own court.
In "Behold! I Am the Master of Time!", a thief discovers a black magic book that promises a time machine powered by electricity—only to find himself stranded in the 18th century when he realizes the past lacks the very power source he needs to return. Trapped between eras, he must confront the consequences of his ambition in a world where time itself seems to have turned against him.
Joey, a young man with a past, stumbles into a strange mystery when he investigates a professor’s wild claims about hidden worlds within television sets. When an accidental rift opens, he’s forced to confront not just the terrifying reality of the hidden realm—but the vengeful figure from his own history reaching through.
In "My Touch Means... Doom!", Bill Howard, desperate to save his wife Martha’s life, plans a bank heist—only to be haunted by a vision of himself turned deadly, his touch lethal. The new guard, Dr. Johnson, seems to hold the key to the terrifying hallucination, but his true intentions remain shrouded in mystery.
