Free to read · restored edition by comicbooks.com · Issue details →
Frank Thompson’s delayed flight should have been a minor inconvenience—until the crash that claims the passengers he never boarded. Now stranded in a city of forgotten souls, he finds himself running through shadowed streets where every shadow feels alive, and escape seems impossible.
In "Curse of the Werewolf," elderly zoologist Emil Sonsine grapples with a terrifying transformation after saving a man’s life with a blood transfusion—only to inherit a werewolf’s curse. Haunted by guilt and torn between his new, primal strength and his lingering humanity, he faces a painful reckoning when he discovers his sweetheart’s affections lie elsewhere. The story unfolds with a chilling intensity, as Emil must confront his rival in a showdown that tests both his body and soul.
In "The Devil's Prize," embezzler John Dirge, imprisoned in an asylum not for madness but as a cover to evade justice, strikes a chilling bargain with the devil. With the power to inhabit others’ bodies, he begins a vengeful hunt against the three accomplices who betrayed him—each step a calculated move in a deadly game of retribution.
