Chamber of Chills #5
In "The Devil's Dowry!", a military officer's desperate bid for power leads him to summon an ancient sorcerer—only to betray him and imprison him, forcing the sorcerer’s daughter into a forced marriage. Written by Larry Lieber and illustrated by Jay Scott Pike, with inks by Chic Stone and lettering by Charlotte Jetter, this chilling 1973 tale unfolds with a sinister twist: the officer’s new bride may not be who she seems. The cover, by Rich Buckler and Tom Palmer, captures the eerie tension of a union that hides a monstrous secret.
