Fear #7

In "I Dream of Doom!", Frank Atwell wakes each night to the same terror: a monstrous pursuit in a dream he can’t escape. After seeking help from a doctor who sedates him, he slips into a slumber so deep he can’t tell where the nightmare ends and reality begins. When he awakens to find his dream world eerily familiar—its rules, its power, its throne—Frank must confront a chilling truth: what if the world he thought was real was just a dream all along?

In "The Curse of M'Gumbu!" from Fear #7 (1972), a tribe's reckless defiance of their witch-doctor’s warnings leads to a shocking consequence when their attempt to kill him triggers a transformation that shrinks the entire community—protecting others in a way no one expected. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story unfolds with eerie quiet, grounding its dread in the weight of tradition and the cost of disbelief.

In "The Thing Behind the Wall!", a desperate thief stumbles through a hidden passage in a crumbling wall, only to face a malevolent presence that seems to hunger for the world beyond. After barely escaping, he’s arrested and locked away, now trapped in a cell where the very wall he fled from feels like a threshold he dares not cross.

In "The Martian Who Stole My Body!" from Fear #7 (1972), a fugitive from Mars takes over a human's form, but one loyal dog remains suspicious—enough to make the alien reconsider his new life on Earth.
