Haunted #57

Baron Weirwulf's Haunted Library returns with issue #57, and Steve Ditko's cover sets the eerie tone perfectly — two figures tumble in terror into a massive geometric pit, their screams ("YEEEAAGGHH!" "AAARRCHH!") bursting off the page as a blond-haired figure in brown reaches desperately while a second person in blue plunges downward. Promising the tale of "The Jaws of the Dragon," this 1981 Charlton anthology offers the kind of unsettling supernatural suspense that made the series a staple of horror comics fans, with Joe Gill's writing and Ditko's art — both inside and on the striking cover — making this a satisfying package from start to finish.
