The Hand of Fate #11

In "Roots of the Evil Tree," artist Louis Zansky brings to life a chilling tale of obsession and retribution, where a tormented man's creation turns against him. When Kurt Coleman shapes a twisted tree into a human form, it awakens during a storm and becomes an inescapable shadow—until he learns too late that severing its roots may not be enough to end its reach. Kenneth Rice’s eerie cover captures the story’s haunting mood, matching the dread of a man trapped by his own art.
