Marvel Tales #123

Marvel Tales #123 promises exactly what the cover delivers — a man in a red shirt cornered against a brick wall, desperately fending off two decomposing, skeletal figures closing in from either side, with the ominous caption "No Way Out!" sealing his grim situation. Harry Anderson's cover art captures that unmistakable 1954 pre-Code atmosphere of dread, where shadowy greens and stark terror combine to genuinely unsettling effect. Inside, Bob Correa brings the anthology's trademark strange tales to life, including the featured story "The Lonely Road" — all for a dime.
