Gwandanaland Comics #2198

This Gwandanaland Comics collection reprints Dark Mysteries #19, a "Thrilling Tales of Horror & Suspense" gem from Story Comics, and the cover alone makes a compelling case for the series' chilling appeal. A terrified woman sprawls helpless on a stone slab while robed skeletal figures loom over her in a grim dungeon setting, with a caption hinting at ancient curses and "The Rack of Terror." It's a wonderfully atmospheric package for anyone eager to explore the pre-Code horror tradition in one generous 2018 volume.
