Ghostly Tales #166

Charlton's Ghostly Tales #166 delivers a genuinely unsettling cover by Mike Zeck — a massive, shaggy creature looms over a porch railing behind an unsuspecting couple sharing a quiet moment, moonlight silhouetting its hulking frame as it reaches toward them with unmistakable menace. Inside, Joe Gill scripts "The Monster's Monster" with art fully rendered by Sanho Kim, promising the kind of eerie anthology fare Charlton did so well. A fine 1984 addition to this long-running horror series, and that cover alone makes it hard to put down.
