Haunted #65

A lone figure clings desperately to the lamp housing of a lighthouse as its powerful beam cuts through a pitch-black, eerily rippling sea — it's a striking, atmospheric cover by F. Nieto that sets a genuinely unsettling aquatic mood. The cover's own teaser says it plainly: "this issue is ALL WET!" — and with a story titled "The Drowned Girl" interior, Baron Weirwulf's Haunted Library #65 promises the kind of waterlogged dread that Charlton's horror anthology did so well in 1982. With Joe Gill writing and Steve Ditko handling both pencils and inks on the interior, this December issue is a fine chapter in one of comics' most dependable horror series.
