Haunted #25

Two grasping hands pry open a heavy wooden box — and whatever lurks inside is anything but welcome, its snarling, wide-eyed face crackling with supernatural energy while a single candle gutters in the gloom behind it. Tom Sutton's cover art for this January 1976 Charlton issue is delightfully unsettling, capturing that perfect blend of dread and dark wonder that makes Baron Weirwulf's Haunted Library such a reliable destination for horror anthology fans. With Joe Gill writing and Steve Ditko handling interior art and inks, issue #25 brings some genuine talent to "The Jaws of the Dragon" and the other all-new tales waiting inside.
