Menace #7

Atlas Comics' Menace #7 from September 1953 delivers the kind of graveyard dread this horror anthology does so well — Carl Burgos's cover depicts a gaunt, menacing figure clutching a terrified blonde woman in a red dress, surrounded by skulls, skeletal figures, and tombstones in a nighttime cemetery setting. The bold yellow logo blazes above the headline story "Fresh Out of Flesh!," with additional tales "The Witch in the Woods!" and "The Planet of Living Death!" promised inside. Stan Lee writes and Joe Sinnott illustrates the contents, making this a strong 1953 package of shivery, imaginative horror.
