Ghostly Tales #138

Charlton's long-running horror anthology reaches issue #138 with a cover by Tom Sutton that dominates the page with two enormous, anguished faces — one tormented man and one snarling, fang-baring creature — looming over a terrified woman fleeing through a darkened, barren landscape below. The contrast between the sweating, wide-eyed human visage and the monstrous one beside it sets an effectively unsettling tone for the September 1979 issue. Inside, Joe Gill and Pete Morisi bring their talents to "The Souvenir Hunter," making this a solid pick for fans of late-70s Charlton horror.
