Adventures into the Unknown #32
This anthology issue contains multiple stories exploring supernatural and fantastical themes. One story follows a man and woman who encounter a mysterious green serpent-like creature with extraordinary powers that transforms the woman, leading to desperate attempts to save her from its supernatural influence. Another tale recounts a legend of a medieval traveler who encounters a werewolf in the French Auvergne and discovers that the creature's severed paw transforms into a woman's hand, revealing his host's wife to be a werewolf servant of Satan who is ultimately executed. A third story involves an artist who creates cursed paintings depicting demonic creatures controlled by Satan's will, which threaten to destroy those who view them.
