“Hatchet Man”

"Hatchet Man" in Eerie #1 (1972) delivers a chilling tale of deception and dread, as Harvey Whittaker attempts to exploit a notorious urban legend to cover his own murderous intentions. Written by Archie Goodwin and illustrated with haunting precision by Gene Colan—his inks deepening the shadows of every panel—this story unfolds with a slow, inevitable dread. The cover by Richard Corben, a master of macabre imagery, captures the perfect blend of menace and unease that defines the issue.
