Dark Mysteries #10
In "The Note of Death," Doctor Ralph Bowan’s secluded mansion hides a chilling secret: his collection of grotesque specimens—vampires, ghouls, and witches—preserved in formaldehyde. When he discovers his wife Lily’s betrayal with his assistant Alan, his obsession with control takes a horrifying turn. Hy Fleishman’s stark, expressive art brings this eerie tale to life, with every panel sharpened by his distinctive pencils and inks, both inside and on the cover.
