Like a Hold in the Head

Spooky Jack returns to our pages with a pair of prop skulls bearing the distinctive signs of trepanation.  The practice is surprisingly ancient, with skulls dating back almost ten thousand years showing signs of the procedure.  Even more amazing, we have hundreds of examples with new bone growth around the excised area.  The patient not only survived the operation, but lived long enough for the years-long process of healing.
