Haunted #67

Charlton's Baron Weirwulf's Haunted Library reaches its 67th issue with a cover by Tom Sutton that's hard to look away from — a terrified woman in a purple dress flees the enormous, clawed shadow of a beast looming across a yellow background crawling with ghostly faces. A story teaser promises that "living or dead, Margarete's husbands were a problem," setting an ominously domestic tone for the tale titled "Strangler on the Loose," written and fully rendered by Pete Morisi. For fans of Charlton's brand of eerie anthology horror, this 1983 issue delivers exactly the kind of creeping dread the series built its reputation on.
