Black Cat Comics #31

This October 1951 Harvey horror anthology delivers exactly what its banner promises — "Strangest Tales of Fear and Terror!" Al Avison's cover art pulls no punches: a massive snarling black cat looms over a woman in white who flees in terror, her hand desperately clutched by a man behind her, while a clawed creature writhes in the flames below. Inside, Rudy Palais brings his pen to "Bloody Red Rose," alongside promised features like "Monster's Maze" and "The Sea Witch of Sandy Hook" — a fine lineup for anyone who likes their comics with a healthy dose of dread.
