Acheron Press #167-HC

Skywald's striking black-and-white adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's *The Pit and the Pendulum* gets a handsome hardcover collection from Acheron Press in 2023. The cover art — rendered in bold pen-and-ink — drops us into Poe's nightmare world, with a figure trapped beneath a massive descending blade while the stone walls of a dungeon loom all around. A portrait inset of Poe himself anchors the top of the cover, tying the literary source directly to this visceral visual storytelling.
