In "Ghoul's Gold," a dying professor’s mind is transplanted into the body of a convicted criminal, setting off a deadly game when his former gangster associates kidnap him to uncover the location of their hidden fortune. Mike Sekowsky’s striking artwork, inked by Vince Alascia, brings to life a chilling showdown on an airfield landing strip, where the past and the monstrous collide. The creature, once a man, now lives in quiet obscurity—scribbling equations in the shadows, a mind trapped in a borrowed form.
