These men had recklessly pursued the blood-cursed painting for itself, and for the military secrets hidden in it. But it hadn't been called "The Portrait Of Death" for five centuries for nothing…
Introduction
So, what have we here? A cursed portrait whose evil has brought death throughout history. That seems straightforward enough, but keep your eye on the plot because there a few extra threads woven into the canvas of this one. Eric Hebden's stories usually give full value and this one's no exception. The inside art by Cortes - one of some 29 he did for Commando - you'll be pleased to her is a lot clearer than the plot. Crisp, definite lines and shading only where it's absolutely needed give a very clear read.
Ken Barr's cover couldn't be clearer either. It tells you exactly what you're going to get.
Every picture tells a story…as they say.
