Chamber of Chills #10
In "The Lost City," a quiet moment between a mother and daughter sets off a chain of wonder and loss when the moon is shattered by a comet, leaving the tides still and the world changed. Years later, the daughter—now a mother herself—tries to share that forgotten truth with her own child, a story of a celestial force long gone. Written by Paul S. Newman and illustrated by Sol Brodsky, with a haunting cover by Carl Burgos, this 1974 tale blends melancholy and myth in a single, shimmering page.
