Dark Mysteries #6
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Curse of the Prairie Ghost!" delivers a chilling twist on old legends in this 1952 issue of Dark Mysteries, where two friends find themselves entangled in a haunting mystery after meeting a mysterious woman at a museum. As they each receive souvenir nooses crafted from the rope of a witch hanged centuries before, the eerie trinkets begin to grow—unexplainably and with deadly intent. Tony Tallarico handles both pencils and inks for the interior art, while Bill Fraccio provides the cover.
When a gang of desperate outlaws raids a wagon train heading west, they steal the settlers' supplies and kill a young woman named Dorla—but not before she swears she'll return. Days later, as the surviving travelers face certain death in the wilderness, their stolen wagons mysteriously reappear, driven by no visible hand, carrying everything they need to survive. What price has been paid, and what force has brought them back?
In "If the Noose Fits - Wear It!", two friends find themselves drawn to a hauntingly enigmatic woman at a museum, only to be entangled in a chilling mystery when they each purchase a tiny souvenir noose—crafted from the very rope that once hanged a witch three centuries prior. As the trinkets begin to grow in size, their playful curiosity turns to unease, and the line between memory and menace blurs.
On the volcanic island of Omahuna, Duke Kamahu—educated, successful, and desperate to marry the woman he loves—finds himself rejected and humiliated by the jealous Bruce Claymoore, who uses Duke's ancestry to poison Irene's heart and push him toward a tragic fate. When Bruce and Irene are later shipwrecked on a mysterious island ruled by natives who know far more than they should, Bruce discovers a terrible truth about what he's consumed—and about who has orchestrated his downfall from beyond the grave.
