Wake the Dead #1

In *Wake the Dead* #1 (2003), writer Steve Niles and artist Chee launch a chilling tale of obsession and consequence, as three friends—Victor, Will, and Iggy—push the boundaries of science with increasingly dangerous experiments on dead animals. When Victor dares to cross the line into human corpses, Will’s refusal ignites a confrontation that ends in tragedy, setting a dark and irreversible course. The story’s eerie tone is matched by Chee’s stark interior art and the haunting cover by Chee.
