Uncanny Tales #161
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Hail the Conquering Hero" kicks off with the Simmonses stumbling upon a surprisingly lively graveyard — or so it seems — only to discover the spectral figures are part of a film production. Written by Link Norton and brought to life with bold, expressive art by Tom Hickey, this eerie yet playful tale blends the supernatural with the cinematic. The cover, by Charles Nicholas and Sal Trapani, captures the mood perfectly.
When Mr. and Hettie Simmons decide on a quiet evening at the cemetery, they don’t expect to meet real ghosts—especially not ones that seem to be part of a movie shoot. But as the night unfolds, the line between film and phantasm begins to blur, and Captain Dark’s presence adds a new kind of chill to the air.
