House of Mystery #318
"Stalk and Slash" delivers a chilling blend of retro sci-fi and suspense in House of Mystery #318, where a computer engineer and his companion uncover a dormant robot head tied to a forgotten government project. Reassembled and activated, the machine awakens with deadly intent, turning on its creators and setting off a relentless hunt. George Kashdan’s story, brought to life with sharp, atmospheric art by Jose Matucenio and vivid colors by Nansi Hoolahan, is grounded in quiet dread, while Michael Wm. Kaluta’s striking cover captures the eerie precision of the machine’s gaze.
