Web of Evil #17

"Return of the Dead" in Web of Evil #17 (1954) delivers a chilling tale of scientific ambition gone horribly wrong, as a scientist’s quest for immortality leads him down a path of violence and self-obliteration. Through the stark, expressive art of Louis Ravielli, the story unfolds with a haunting focus on a man who survives every conceivable death—yet remains blind to the monstrous ruin his body has become. The cover by Chuck Cuidera captures the eerie dread of the tale, a 10-cent comic from 1954 that lingers long after the final page.
