“Blood Red Tear”

DC's late-1970s horror anthology continues with this moody third issue, featuring a story titled "Blood Red Tear." Michael Wm. Kaluta's cover is a striking study in blue shadow and dread — a dark-haired, blue-eyed woman grips an ornate dagger as a snarling, fanged bat looms behind her shoulder, a single drop of blood falling from her hand. The tension between her composed expression and the creature at her back makes for a genuinely unsettling piece of cover art.
