Yellowjacket Comics #3

In "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.
