One-Sided Bargains (Mike Carey’s…)

™ and © Mike Carey

Mike Carey writes three tales of bad bargains, deals with the devil with dreadful consequences, brought to life by art from Mike Perkins, Paul Holden and Michael Gaydos. A retelling of the classic Faust legend with a modern twist gives a new angle to the story of devilish betrayal. Another tale gives readers a poker game with an actor playing Satan, a game that leads to a bet that no one expected, and can’t be covered. The last story is of a man trapped in a clever contraption, with a dozen different ways to die and no sign of escape.
