“While the Iron Was Hot!”

In "While the Iron Was Hot!", Bill inherits a crumbling castle nestled in the desolate black mountains, only to find himself trapped in a nightmare where two men transform humans into monstrous beings. With a tentacled reptile on his heels and his own uncle now a feral humanoid tiger, Bill is caught in a deadly clash between creatures born of dark alchemy. The surreal horror unfolds under Bernard Baily’s eerie cover, with Eddie Robbins’ art and Mike Esposito’s inks bringing the twisted spectacle to life—leaving Bill broken and raving by the time he stumbles back to town.
