Eerie #3

In the isolated moors of northern England, Dr. Sebastian—once a revered scientist—makes a desperate plea to his former pupil, the surgeon Dr. King, to preserve his mind by transferring it into a body cobbled together from two corpses. The procedure succeeds, but the revived Sebastian quickly reveals a monstrous will, driven by ambition and rage, as he storms through the countryside, defying the villagers who once knew him. When a storm breaks overhead, lightning strikes the metal electrodes in his neck, reducing him to ash—leaving only silence in his wake.

In "Island at World's End!" from Eerie #3 (1972), a lone survivor named Sturgis recounts a haunting tale to a whaling crew—of a remote island where the ancient horror Shoggath once ruled, and where a terrible fate unfolded. But as Sturgis warns, the nightmare didn’t end with Shoggath’s escape, and some legends never truly die.

In "Spawn of the Cat People," a lone hunter in New Mexico stumbles upon a terrified girl held by a desperate group claiming her bloodline is cursed. Though he rescues her, unease sets in as strange signs and whispers from the desert begin to blur the line between protector and prey.
