“I CAN SSSMELL IT ON YOU… THE GREED. THE LUSSST FOR GOLD AND FLESH AND POWER. IT IS SSSO SWEET, ISS IT NOT? IT MAKES ME SSO HUNGRY… JUST TO SSSMELL YOU.”
– AVARKUS, THE RED DEATH
WHEN INJUSTICE BECOMES A PLAGUE, WHEN GREED INVADES THE MINDS OF MEN, AND AVARICE RUNS RAMPANT AMONG MORTALS… YOU CAN BE CERTAIN THAT THE RED DEATH WILL NOT BE FAR BEHIND.
AVARKUS, KNOWN AS THE RED DEATH, SERVES THE COURT OF THE DEAD AS A SCOURGER REAPER. HE HARVESTS THE SOULS OF MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE AS SELFISH AND CORRUPT AS HE WAS IN HIS MORTAL LIFE. IN THIS HIGHLY DETAILED ILLUSTRATION BY INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED ILLUSTRATOR AMILCAR FONG, YOU CAN BEHOLD THE RED DEATH MERCILESSLY RIPPING SOILED SOULS FROM THE MORTAL REALM. OVER HIS RIGHT SHOULDER, GRIM HERALDS OF DOOM STAND WATCH, GUARDED BY THEIR PESTILENT LOCUSTS. OVER HIS LEFT SHOULDER, PILLARS OF ALL CLASSES AND FAITHS STAND IN SILENT TESTIMONY TO THE FACT THAT NO ONE ESCAPES THE CRUEL AND RELENTLESS GRASP OF THE RED DEATH.
