"Born Losers" in House of Secrets #98 (1972) delivers a chilling tale of betrayal and eerie retribution, where Burt Roman’s murder of his partner Ed Huggins is framed on a twisted superstition involving polka-dot kerchiefs—only for those same kerchiefs to return with a vengeance. John Prentice handles both pencils and inks for the story’s stark, atmospheric art, while Pat Gordon’s lettering adds to the unsettling tone. The cover, a striking piece by Michael Wm. Kaluta, captures the story’s unsettling mood with its haunting visuals.
