In "Honeymoon of Horror!", a chilling tale from 1952, a condemned man's final vow of revenge sets a macabre chain of events in motion. When Judge Robert X.

With the police hunting the elusive illusionist, a spectral presence returns to finish what was begun. Bill Everett handles all interior art and lettering, while Joe Maneely delivers the eerie cover.
