Cuentos de Misterio #186
In early 19th century England, the notorious highwayman Gentleman Jim Craddock meets his end at the gallows, vowing to return and reclaim his criminal legacy. Decades later, a mysterious bandit haunts Europe, leading the Hawks to London where they encounter the enigmatic Gentleman Ghost—only to find themselves divided on whether he’s a spectral revenant or a master of deception. Written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated with bold precision by Murphy Anderson, this haunting tale unfolds with a chilling mystery and a twist that lingers long after the final panel. The cover, a striking double-draw by Joe Kubert, captures the eerie presence of the Ghost with sharp, dramatic flair.
