In "Back from the Dead," Len Wein crafts a haunting, quiet moment of eerie wonder, where a lone man confronts a single surviving plate-glass window in a ruined landscape, its presence a silent testament to what’s been lost. Howard Chaykin’s stark interior art, with Bill Draut’s precise inks and Milt Snapinn’s tight lettering, brings a visceral weight to the scene, while Ernie Chan’s cover captures the unsettling stillness of the moment before the brick strikes.
