☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Curse of the Broken Claw," a man condemned by the Inquisition faces a gruesome fate in a dark pit, trapped beneath a slow, swinging pendulum meant to sever him in half—only to be saved by a sudden, desperate swarm of rats gnawing through his bonds. This chilling adaptation of an Edgar Allan Poe tale, illustrated with stark, expressive detail by Gus Schrotter, captures the terror of isolation and the unexpected mercy of the overlooked. The cover, by Ken Battefield, perfectly mirrors the story’s grim atmosphere with a haunting, shadowed image of the pendulum’s looming threat.
In this chilling 1944 adaptation from *Yellowjacket Comics #3*, a condemned man faces a slow, gruesome fate in the depths of a dark pit, bound as a pendulum slowly descends above him—its blade inching closer with every passing moment. Just when escape seems impossible, a desperate, unseen force begins to gnaw at his restraints, offering a fragile hope in the suffocating silence.
In the shadowed streets of 1944, Gunner Thompson finds himself caught in a chilling encounter with a mysterious black-clad figure who foretells his demise—just before being drafted into the army, where fate seems to be closing in.
