Twisted Tales #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Infected" in Twisted Tales #1 (1982) delivers a chilling, intimate horror tale from writer Bruce Jones and artist Alfredo Alcala, whose distinctive pencils and inks bring a visceral dread to a woman’s unraveling as her deceased husband returns under grotesque circumstances. The story’s raw emotional core—shaped by regret and the haunting weight of missed intimacy—unfolds with a quiet terror that lingers long after the final panel, all rendered in Jones’s and Alcala’s signature style. The cover, by Bruce Jones and Richard Corben, captures the story’s grim tone with unsettling precision.
In "Out of His Depth," Sharon Bannon is haunted by a past she thought buried—when her husband, Jeff Lowry, returns from the grave on the night they were meant to wed, his decayed form a grotesque echo of the man she once knew. Trapped in a suffocating spiral of regret and fear, she confronts the horrifying truth that desire, even in death, can outlive reason. With Willie and Miss Watkins lingering just out of sight, the line between memory and nightmare dissolves in a story where love’s final act is not reunion, but ruin.
