Archie's Madhouse #16

Archie's Madhouse serves up a wonderfully ghoulish gathering in this December 1961 issue, with cover art by Samm Schwartz depicting a hapless young fellow at the door of a monster-filled haunt — a grinning vampire, a shambling ghoul, a wide-eyed werewolf, a clawed creature, and a vulture-like bird all crowding in as the vampire asks, "I'm starved! Any of you people know where I can get a good bite?" It's the perfect blend of spooky atmosphere and comedic timing that made this title such a treat for young readers of the era. Inside, Joe Edwards brings his pen to "Madhouse Musicians," promising more of the zany, monster-tinged humor that defines this cheerfully offbeat Archie series.
