Haunted #75

Charlton's long-running horror anthology reaches issue #75 with a cover by Rich Larson that wastes no time setting a sinister mood — a writhing yellow-green creature erupts from a framed portrait of an elderly man, its tendrils coiling around a terrified woman while a screaming disembodied face looms in the foreground. The atmosphere is pure 1984 Charlton horror: lurid colors, genuine dread, and that unmistakable sense that the painting on the wall holds far darker secrets than anyone bargained for. Inside, Joe Gill's script and Bill Montes's art (inked by Rocco Mastroserio) deliver the kind of compact, shivery storytelling that made Haunted a reliable destination for fans of old-school supernatural chills.
