Strange Fantasy #8
"Death Strikes Four" is a chilling, dreamlike tale from 1953, where a man’s sudden accident traps his mind in a body frozen in silence. Stranded in full awareness, he watches as his life unravels—his wife’s betrayal, his own autopsy, and the funeral that follows—all from within a still, unresponsive frame. Rendered with stark, expressive art by the Iger Shop, this haunting story captures a mind trapped in the moment of its own demise, a silent witness to its own end.
