Vault of Evil #21

In "The Victims of Vonntor!", a man with eight arms commits a series of killings, always staying one step ahead of the law—because when he’s caught, he simply shows the police a different set of hands, leaving investigators baffled and the true horror hidden in plain sight.

In "Man on the Scaffold!", Willie Wopper’s boast about magic paints lands him in the middle of a shocking illusion when the scaffold he and his coworkers Sam and Charlie are on suddenly gives way—only for the advertising poster they were painting to come to life and lower them to safety. The men are stunned, convinced they’ve been saved by sorcery, but Willie keeps his secret: the real trick was never the paint, but the power of belief he carefully wove into their minds.
