Amazing Stories of Suspense #77
In "The Terror of the Blue Death," Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a chilling twist on the ghost story tradition, where a young man’s return from the Civil War takes a haunting turn—only to reveal that the true spirits are not the one who died, but those who waited. With Al Williamson’s haunting cover capturing the story’s eerie mood, this 1/- comic from Alan Class presents a masterclass in misdirection and emotional weight.
