In "Horror We? How's Bayou?", a chilling tale from EC's Haunt of Fear #17 (1953), a man in the Louisiana bayou lures travelers to his isolated mansion to feed his brother’s gruesome appetites. After a doctor becomes the latest victim, three grotesque corpses made of mismatched body parts rise from the swamp and reassemble their killer in a horrifying, twisted fashion. Penciled and inked with macabre precision by Graham Ingels, and colored with eerie subtlety by Marie Severin, this classic horror story delivers a nightmarish twist that lingers long after the final page.
