Tower of Shadows [Special] #1
In "Witch Hunt," Neal Adams crafts a haunting tale of isolation and survival, following a prehistoric mutant caveman driven from his tribe, who emerges millennia later as a sound-hungry entity in a decaying modern world. When a hippie couple stumbles upon his hidden refuge in the woods, his desperate need for noise takes a chilling turn—until a single, unexpected sound offers a fleeting reprieve. The story's eerie atmosphere and striking visuals, brought to life by Adams' dynamic art and Romita and Giacoia's moody cover, make this a standout special from 1971.
