Summary:
Issue seven contains two stories. The first story is Corporate Ladder, written by Joe Monks, and the second is Dropping Anchor, written and illustrated by Joe Linsner.
In Corporate Ladder Matt Riker is an up and coming financial advisor. When his mother passes away, he is given the contents of the attic at the family home. There he discovers a chest that has his grandfather's trunk. The grandfather had been a Nazi commander. Dealing with being passed over for a promotion, Matt finds strategy in his grandfather's journal. Tipping off his new bosses wife about an illicit affair isn't enough, so Matt kills the owner of the company. The story closes with Matt deciding to run for mayor, having developed the hatred that powered his grandfather's success in the german army.
The second story, Dropping Anchor, is a tragic tale of a young father that hates being a young father. Throughout the story the young man fantasizes about allowing his young child to fall from the balcony of their appartment. At the end of the story the young man sees the error of his ways, but it is too late as the child has fallen from the rail to a certain death.

Special Note:
Linsner has released many prints of his artwork over the years. The below is one of my favorites which features an alternate take on the cover for the first Cry for Dawn issue.
