Horror #4
In "Die Geisterfalle!", Butler Michael Renner inherits his late employer’s eerie villa—along with her unsettling cats. As the animals seem to torment him, Renner is driven to confess to a murder he didn’t commit, haunted by a mysterious letter saved from the flames: a note declaring he would no longer be a servant by the coming year. Jack Kirby’s stark, expressive art brings the dread to life, while Jack Sparling’s cover captures the story’s chilling atmosphere.
In "Die Geisterfalle!", John Willburn's attempt to murder Sealas Peabody through his astral form backfires when Peabody's ghost seizes control, using spectral evidence to trap Willburn while hijacking his physical body to ensure his imprisonment.

In "Das Geheimnis der versunkenen Truhe!", a terrified sailor on the Santa Rosa witnesses the captain sealing a Greek-inscribed chest—Pandora—into the sea, only to hear a voice from within. As the crew attempts to open it, dread and monstrous horrors follow, unraveling a mystery deeper than the ocean itself.
