In "Full Moon," mortician Carl Moreno plays a deadly game with old spinster Anna Mord, supplying her with human body parts to indulge her dark cravings—only to plot her demise and claim her fortune. But when Anna refuses to stay dead, Carl’s scheme spirals into something far more unsettling. Mannie Banks handles both art and inks for the chilling interior, while Don Heck’s cover captures the eerie tension with stark, shadowed detail.
