Stories

Reprinted In: Crypt of Shadows 16
Notes: A portly man decides to drive on after hitting a man with his car. When he arrives in a nearby village, he doesn't understand why everyone is looking at him. But when he is dragged out of his car to be lynched he sees they aren't crazy... the body of his victim is still hanging from his front bumper. - Ger A.
Notes: I have written about this story before and it continues to baffle me who the artist is. It is very similar to A-570 Detour from Mystic #10, a signed story by Fass, but very unlike all of the earlier and later Fass work. It's also not signed, where most of Fass's work is. - Ger A.
