Uncanny Tales #77

In "Cry Coward!", a desperate man takes a risky loan from a ruthless banker, only to turn the tables by undercutting him with lower interest rates—setting off a high-stakes financial showdown. Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated with sharp detail by Manny Stallman, this 1971 tale from Alan Class delivers a tense, character-driven drama with a twist of moral reckoning. The cover, by Gene Colan and Sam Grainger, captures the story’s simmering tension in bold, expressive lines.
