Seduction of the Innocent! #1

In "The Ugliest Man in the World," actor Ron Carney is pushed to create the most terrifying villain yet for his next horror film—only to be drawn into a grotesque secret society that permanently alters his appearance. What begins as a challenge to his craft spirals into a nightmare of irreversible transformation, leaving him trapped in a face he can’t escape.

In "Hanged by the Neck," the once-great magician El Rondo lets jealousy twist his act into a deadly performance, hanging his assistant mid-routine on stage. Haunted by the ghost of his victim, El Rondo finds himself trapped in a nightmare where the past comes back to claim him—just as he once did.
