Marvel Tales #93

Marvel Tales #93 brings the chill of late-1940s horror with a cover by Martin Nodell that immediately grabs attention: a hunched, bestial ghoul stands atop a rocky mound, arm raised menacingly, while an enormous pair of glowing, bloodshot eyes loom behind it from the darkness — a genuinely unsettling image that earns the banner teasing "The Ghoul Strikes!" Two tiny figures cower at the bottom of the scene, dwarfed by the creature's threatening stance. Inside, Ed Winiarski brings the art for "The Haunted Room," making this 1949 ten-cent issue a rewarding pick for fans of pre-Comics Code supernatural storytelling.
