Black Cat Comics #41

Harvey Comics' long-running anthology of dread delivers another round of "Strangest Tales of Fear and Superstition" with this December 1952 issue. The cover pulls no punches: a massive winged black beast with glowing red eyes has seized a terrified man in mid-struggle, dragging him skyward while a dark castle looms in the background — all anchored by the chilling cover promise of the "Beast of Doom." Inside, Bob Powell handles the full creative duties on "The Room of Mystery," bringing his pen to both the writing and art in what promises to be a satisfyingly unsettling read.
