Haunted Tales #19

In the dusty, forgotten town of Tombstone, Arizona, where the graves of the West’s most notorious outlaws lie silent, a chilling presence stirs beneath the moonlight. When a spectral coachman rides through the graveyard, his carriage drawn by phantom horses, it’s clear that not all the dead stay buried — and some legends are meant to return.

In "The Turn of the Wheel!" from Haunted Tales #19 (1976), the villagers’ theft of Klaus the Cruel’s prized torture wheel sets off a series of eerie misfortunes that plague him—each turn of the wheel bringing darker consequences. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story unfolds with a creeping dread as the past comes back to haunt the cruel lord.

In "Eternal Hour!" from Haunted Tales #19 (1976), Terwit—small and often mocked by the townspeople—retreats to a clock tower, where the hands freeze at midnight. Years later, the grown men who once tormented him return, drawn back to the tower, only to vanish in terror. What happens inside the tower remains a mystery, but the silence that follows is anything but peaceful.
