Gwandanaland Comics #601

Gwandanaland Comics #601 collects the complete run of Strange Suspense Stories in the first of four giant volumes, reprinting the eerie Fawcett Comics series in one convenient package. Sheldon Moldoff's cover art sets the tone perfectly — a skeletal figure looms over a terrified man, its bony hands clutching him in a genuinely unsettling confrontation, with a caption promising tales "incredible yet so real," including a story called "The Man Who Warmed the Bones of the Dead." If you have a taste for mid-century mystery and horror anthology comics, this 2017 collection is a fine way to dive into a series that knew exactly how to keep readers on edge.
