“The Nightmare Dummies and... the Spectre”

In "The Nightmare Dummies and... the Spectre," a sinister mannequin maker unleashes a terrifying spree as his creations come to life, turning the city into a nightmare. Written by Michael Fleisher and Russell Carley, with art by Frank Thorne and inks by Jim Aparo, this 1974 adventure brings a chilling twist to the classic Spectre mythos. The cover, by Jim Aparo, captures the eerie menace of the living mannequins in bold, dramatic detail.
