One by one, the city's most prominent citizens fell prey to an ingenious and macabre series of murders. A mysterious, pitiless agent of evil on a single-minded mission of destruction was at work - a terrible power whom hapless victims, in their last living moments, came to know and dread as the Fingers of death!
Authorities grew more baffled as the ring of horror spread ever wider. One man and one man alone could penetrate the veil of secrecy and reveal the grim living presence behind those murderous fingers. A man more spectral than night itself, a phantom in a dark slouch hat and flowing cloak, whose eerie laugh of triumph sowed terror in the hearts of criminals everywhere!

Ernie Colon passed away. I have admired his work for a long time and he was a major influence on my own. Grim Ghost is a comic he did with writer Michael Fleischer for Atlas/Seaboard in the 70's. Most of their books were forgettable but the ones he drew were the best of the bunch. From Richie Rich and Caspar to superheroes and barbarians, he could draw ANYTHING. He was also the original artist on Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld.

Rest in peace Ernie. My condolences to his family and friends.
