Menace #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Kill Me a Monster" delivers a chilling twist on the classic monster tale in this 1954 issue of Menace, where a man whose cruelty toward dogs takes a terrifying turn after a werewolf bite. Written and drawn entirely by Bill Everett, the story unfolds with a grim, grounded dread as his violent past comes back to haunt him—literally—when he transforms into a beast he can no longer control. The haunting cover by Gene Colan captures the story’s eerie tension, making this a standout entry in the early Marvel horror lineup.
In "The Fangs of the Wolf," a man whose pleasure comes from shooting stray dogs finds his cruel past catching up when he’s bitten by a werewolf. Now trapped in a body he can’t control, he faces the chilling irony of his own hired sharpshooter aiming to end him.
In "Symphony in Death," a music critic's theft of a composer's work sets off a chilling act of revenge, where the composer uses a phonograph and a rope to orchestrate a slow, merciless retribution. The story unfolds with a cold precision, blending suspense and horror in a tale where music becomes a weapon and silence the final note.
