Recently finished reading an interesting re-imagining of Poe's short story, The Black Cat.
Instead of a man depicted as living in an ordinary house, in this retelling, the main character works in a travelling circus. And his cat has been upgraded from a black housecat, to a panther. The re-telling retains some of Poe's fundamentals.. the man is still drunken, and the man has gone from being a loving pet owner, to mistreating his once beloved feline.
I thought this frame (illustrated by James Fletcher, from Nevermore) was well done. You see the cat-killer's conscience is haunting him.. causing him to see the dead cat everywhere (including in puddles & barbells).
Sort of related, Poe poster I illustrated years ago.
