Journey into Unknown Worlds #13
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Witch Woman" kicks off in Journey into Unknown Worlds #13 (1952), a chilling tale from writer Hank Chapman and artist Ed Robbins, whose stark interior art brings the story’s creeping dread to life. When a man kills for inheritance, he’s left with only an old book—until a mysterious windfall of thousand-dollar bills hidden within its pages sets a dangerous chain in motion. The cover, a striking piece by Bill Everett, captures the story’s eerie tone with a haunting portrait of the title’s enigmatic figure.
In "Witch Woman," a vengeful spirit, cursed by betrayal, binds her wrath to the bloodline of her killer—her spirit will inhabit every maiden his descendants love. The story unfolds as the curse takes root across generations, weaving a haunting thread of fate and forbidden affection.
In "The Thing in the Graveyard," a man’s cold calculation takes a deadly turn when he marries a widow for her insurance payout—only to find her spending the money on a grave monument. When his greed leads him to try to kill her, the stone structure she’s built seems to come alive, turning the tables in a chilling twist.
In the aftermath of an atomic blast, a monstrous creature emerges—unhurt by bullets or gas—forcing scientists to seal it in a crate and send it to sea. But when curious sailors disobey orders and open the box, they unleash something far beyond their understanding.
In "The Bookworms," a man's greed leads him to murder his relative for her inheritance—only to be left with an old book that seems worthless. When he sells it to a dealer for six hundred dollars, he doesn’t know the real treasure lies hidden in the pages, where thousand-dollar bills are tucked between the leaves.
