In "Henry Small.... Huckster," famed wig-maker Lem Boone’s seemingly harmless craft hides a grotesque secret—his lifelike wigs are made from the scalps of the dead. When he crosses a line by desecrating the burial mound of a Native American warrior, his obsession takes a dark turn. Art by Joe Certa, inks by Jack Abel, and letters by Joe Rosen bring this eerie tale to life, with a chilling cover by Lee Elias.
