Haunted #47

Baron Weirwulf's Haunted Library reaches issue #47 with a cover by Steve Ditko that practically howls off the stands — a snarling pack of dark wolves surges through a snow-blanketed night, a full moon looming large behind them as they tear past a rustic building lit by an eerie orange glow. The multi-panel layout gives the scene a cinematic momentum, each stripe of the cover ratcheting up the feral menace a little further. With Joe Gill writing and Ditko handling both art and inks on the interior tale "Curse of the Kolukoffs," this 1980 Charlton horror anthology delivers exactly the kind of wintry dread the title promises.
