Astonishing #16

From Atlas Comics' Astonishing anthology series comes this 1952 supernatural chiller, with a cover by Bill Everett that sets the mood perfectly: a sinister man in the foreground recoils — or reaches — as a skeletal hand and arm thrust up from a freshly dug grave, while a terrified woman in a yellow dress screams amid a darkened cemetery. The tagline "Don't Make a Ghoul of Yourself!" strikes just the right note of macabre wit, and small sidebar panels tease additional tales including "The Miser" and "I Prowl by Night!" Inside, Syd Shores delivers the artwork, keeping the eerie atmosphere going beyond that gripping Everett cover.
