Beware #7

In "Double Feature," a man tries to cover his tracks by buying a movie ticket to prove he was elsewhere when a murder occurred—only to be arrested when the police reveal the theater burned down the night he claimed to have been there. The twist lies in the ticket stub he thought would be his alibi, now a damning piece of evidence against him.

In "The Secret of the Haunted Picture," a desperate artist makes a terrible bargain with the Devil for a year of fame—only to wake up trapped inside one of his own creations. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by an unknown artist, this chilling 1974 tale from Beware #7 lingers in the space between brushstroke and nightmare.

In "When Warren Woke Up!", a disquieting dream about a world where plants have risen against humanity spills into reality when the scientist wakes to find the Earth transformed—lush, overgrown, and eerily silent. The story unfolds with a quiet dread, as Warren confronts a world that has forgotten him, and the line between nightmare and waking life blurs.

In "The Lonely Man," a son of a cyclops wanders a world that fears his appearance, searching for connection with a quiet desperation. His one terrible habit—removing his sunglasses to truly see the people he hopes to befriend—only deepens his isolation.
