“Read the Signs”

Charlton Comics launched this horror anthology in 1975 with a cover by Tom Sutton that wastes no time setting the mood — a massive, fang-filled swamp creature dominates the frame, its bulging eyes and gaping maw surrounded by skeletal figures and shambling horrors emerging from a dank, stone-walled darkness. The dripping, ooze-styled logo perfectly matches the grotesque menagerie Sutton renders with genuine atmospheric dread. Inside, Dick Piscopo handles writing, art, inking, and lettering on "Read the Signs," making this a strong showcase for Charlton's commitment to all-new horror content.
