Gwandanaland Comics #400

This handsome Gwandanaland Comics reprint collection gathers material from Charlton's This Magazine Is Haunted, showcasing early work by Steve Ditko — who both penciled and inked the reproduced cover art on display here. That original cover is a wonderfully chaotic scene featuring a ghoulish, skeletal figure labeled "Dr. Death" presiding over a wild melee of monsters and frantic human figures tumbling across a ravaged landscape, with a bold challenge to the reader daring them to open the book. A fine 2017 package for anyone eager to explore Ditko's atmospheric horror work from Charlton's golden era of fright comics.
