☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"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.
In "The Mummy," Professor Denton leads an expedition into the heart of an ancient Aztec pyramid, where the discovery of a long-buried king’s tomb unleashes a terrifying force. When one of the team, Carlson, vanishes after screaming of unseen horrors, Denton must confront the reanimated mummy of the fallen ruler—only to barely escape with his life, sealing the pyramid forever.
In "Death to the Witch," a couple’s quiet vacation takes a chilling turn when they spend the night in a town obsessed with the mysterious "Day of 1760." That night, the wife dreams she’s on trial for witchcraft—dreams that grow more vivid with each passing hour. When her husband digs into the town’s past, he discovers the eerie truth: her dreams mirror real events from centuries ago.
In "Forever Dead," a desperate doctor makes a dark deal with a voodoo master to bring his wife back from the grave—only to realize too late that some debts come with a price he never expected. The story unfolds with a chilling quiet, building dread as Jo returns, changed in ways that unsettle even the man who longed for her.
