"The Mummy" in Horror Tales #1 (1971) delivers a chilling blend of folklore and psychological unease, as a vacationing couple stumbles into a town steeped in a strange annual ritual honoring the year 1760. When the wife awakens from a vivid dream of being tried for witchcraft—details that eerily mirror the town’s hidden past—the husband begins to uncover a history that feels too precise to be coincidence. Cover by Antonio Reynoso, with interior art and inks also by Antonio Reynoso, this eerie tale blends historical mystery with creeping dread in a story that lingers long after the final page.
