The Thing #10

In "Flower of Evil," the villagers of a remote hamlet capture a vampire, placing the grim responsibility of ensuring its permanent demise on their mayor. As he prepares to perform the necessary rituals, his true intentions—selling the creature’s head to a city museum—begin to unravel the fragile peace of the community. Art by John Belfi brings a haunting, grounded tension to the tale, while the cover by Bob Forgione and Vince Alascia captures the eerie stillness of the moment before the horror unfolds.
