Fear #22

Marvel's mid-1970s horror line was firing on all cylinders, and Adventure into Fear #22 is a vivid example of why. Ron Wilson's pencils and Frank Giacoia's inks deliver a ferocious cover: Morbius, the Living Vampire, grapples hand-to-claw with a massive, snarling cat-demon, while a distressed blonde woman lies in the foreground and more cat-creatures lurk menacingly in the background. Promising "fear-fraught thrills in the tradition of Dracula," this June 1974 issue — subtitled "Curse of the Cat-Demon!" — looks like exactly the kind of gothic monster mash that made Marvel's horror titles so compelling.
