House of Penance #4 Pg.6

„House of Penance“ is a six-Issue miniseries from Peter J. Tomasi and Ian Bertram that retells the well known story of the "Winchester Mystery House".
In the early 1900's Sarah Winchester, wife of the firearms magnate William Winchester, loses her beloved daughter and husband within months of each other. Grief stricken she begins construction of a veritable madhouse of a mansion. All the signs point to her complete break from reality as she struggles against "ghosts" and hires a motley group of ex-killers to work on her house. Into this strange situation stumbles Mr. Peck.
Peck is a killer haunted by the people he has sent to the grave. Seriously wounded he stumbles onto the construction site. Once recovered he settles into a job at the strange mansion where construction continues around the clock. He joins the work crew and finds out what exactly is happening inside the Winchester estate.
The rest of the story is quite macabre and grim. A story of ghosts and inner demons, it also brings up interesting questions about morality. All in all a outstanding series.

What makes this mini series stand out for me is not the storytelling, but the spectacular art by Ian Bertram.His pages are sometimes really creepy, full of grotesque figures and mad, staring eyes, odd angles and gruesomeness prowling around the edges.
