Midnight Tales #16

Charlton's Midnight Tales goes out on an unsettling note with issue #16, as a freshly created figure recoils on a laboratory platform, crying out "Good Lord! I've been created by a monster!" while a wild-haired green-skinned creature looms nearby and two onlookers watch in stunned horror amid a tangle of electrical equipment. Wayne Howard handles every aspect of this January 1976 issue — writing, art, inks, colors, and letters — making it a remarkably singular creative vision. If you enjoy old-school Charlton horror with a mad-science twist, this one delivers the atmosphere in spades.
