Three quirky horror tales to cool your blood, VERTIGO- style... In "A Gift of Friendship" (written and illustrated by Kent Williams), rival sportsmen collide in the snow-drenched mountains for a tale of betrayal, revenge, and the fine art of double-cross; in "Playing Dead" (written by Bruce Jones and illustrated by Paul Gulacy), an AWOL soldier assumes a dead man's identity, only to learn that his lovely new wife has secrets that he can't begin to comprehend; and in "Fair Trade" (written and illustrated by Ty Templeton), a regular guy tries to barter his soul for love, only to get hit up by a host of demonic pitchmen.
