“Danger Signal!”

In "Danger Signal!", a boy’s toy trains take on eerie life when a real-world crisis unfolds: a signalman collapses from a heart attack, leaving a warning light on a track that’s about to be crossed. With the rails dangerously unswitched, the boy’s childhood play becomes a terrifyingly literal lifeline. Joe Sinnott’s crisp art and Artie Simek’s sharp lettering bring the suspense to life, while Carl Burgos’s cover captures the moment of electric tension—where imagination and reality collide.
