I wrote a comic in EC's Catacomb of Torment #6 out this week called "The Composite Man" about a woman who is repeatedly attacked over the course of several months, seemingly by a different man every time. It's something different from me—a straight thriller—with art by the exceptional Claire Roe.

Steve Ditko gave this 11-year old Catholic a frighteningly detailed view of Hell. Kept me awake that night. Creepy #13.
