Crypt of Horror #17

"A Silver Bullet for Your Heart!" delivers a chilling twist on the classic radio drama panic, as Bill and his wife hunker down during a storm, trapped by a dead radio and a TV stuck on a single channel. What they believe is a real alien invasion—complete with flying saucers over Coney Island and a Martian ultimatum—drives Bill to a desperate act, only for the truth to unfold in a final, haunting reveal. Bob Powell’s stark, expressive art brings the domestic dread to life, while Steve Ditko’s cover, a striking homage to the era’s sci-fi aesthetics, perfectly captures the story’s eerie tone.
