Danse macabre

Danse macabre, a single-issue comic from 1942, stands as a hauntingly singular entry in the Pantheon catalog. While its brief run offers little room for a sprawling narrative, its title—evoking the medieval allegory of death leading all to the grave—suggests a stark, philosophical meditation on mortality, a theme that would resonate through the publisher's later, more famous works. Its very existence as a lone, early wartime publication from Pantheon makes it a curious artifact for scholars of the publisher's origins.
