"Witch's Brand" delivers a chilling twist on ambition and fate in this 1953 tale from the Iger Shop, where a man's joy at his boss's death turns to horror when he dances on the grave—only to be buried alive by the very stone he mocked. A stark, haunting story illustrated with stark precision by the Iger Shop, its cover by the same team captures the grim finality of the moment.
