Creepy Things #5

Charlton's horror anthology Creepy Things delivers another round of all-new chills with issue #5, cover-dated April 1976. Richard Larson's cover art pulls no punches — a wide-eyed, screaming man is seized in the grip of enormous insectoid claws, his glasses being torn away as writhing, taloned limbs engulf him from all sides. Inside, Joe Gill and Steve Ditko team up on "9th Life," a pairing that promises the kind of eerie, unsettling storytelling that made Charlton horror genuinely fun to track down.
