Midnight Tales #13

Charlton's Midnight Tales #13 (1975) serves up a wonderfully twisted riff on the exorcism genre right on its cover — a horned, caped demon lies writhing on a bed while a coolly bemused man in a flat cap announces, "I'm his exorcist… it seems he's been possessed by a human…" A frightened young woman looks on as a second demonic figure looms in the shadowy background, with a grandfather clock, a skull on the floor, and assorted occult trappings setting the mood perfectly. Wayne Howard's cover art flips supernatural horror on its head with a sly wit that makes this issue hard to pass up.
