Crypt of Horror #10
In "Yawning Graves!", a quietly desperate young man named Robby, overlooked and mocked for his dullness, makes a shocking choice to prove he’s capable of something bold—only to be met with disbelief when the consequences follow. Sal Trapani’s art and S. Finocchiaro’s inks bring a haunting, grounded dread to this unsettling tale of isolation and self-destruction. The cover, a chilling masterpiece by Frank Frazetta over Sid Check’s pencils, captures the story’s grim tone with unsettling precision.
