Haunt of Fear #20
In "Thump Fun!", Gloria flees her husband Ralph in a desperate bid for freedom, racing toward the train station with fear in her heart and a mountain of suspicion weighing on her mind. As the train carries her away, her imagination spirals—each shadow, each sound, a reminder of the $25,000 policies and the poison bottle he brought home. Written and illustrated by Albert B. Feldstein, with inks by Feldstein and colors by Marie Severin, this chilling tale unfolds in the tense silence of a moving train, where reality and paranoia blur. The cover, a masterwork by Graham Ingels, captures the dread with haunting precision.

Gloria was in a cab, running away from her husband Ralph...heading toward the train station and the train that would take her away from this man whom she thought was trying to poison her. Seated on the train, she imagined him at every turn, remembering the $25,000 insurance policies Ralph had taken out on them both, and then remembered that poison bottle he had brought home. A series of events following end when she awakens in her berth on the train, then sees Ralph with an attendant in a white coat, who takes her off to a nice house with bars on it so that Ralph can never get to her again!
