House of Mystery #210

In "The Exterminator," John's chilling plan to eliminate his wife Martha takes a dark turn as he experiments with suspended animation, hoping to fake his death and return later to be with his mistress. Written by Jack Oleck and illustrated with eerie precision by José Delbo, the story unfolds with a creeping sense of dread. The unsettling cover, a striking collaboration by Michael Wm. Kaluta, captures the tale’s cold, calculated menace.
