Midnight Tales #7

Deep in a dripping cave, Arachne — a bold, dark-haired woman in field gear — holds a glowing light toward a cluster of grotesque, leering humanoid figures while the Midnight Philosopher crouches nearby, examining ancient stone inscriptions. Wayne Howard's cover for this June 1974 Charlton anthology sets an wonderfully eerie mood, with the shadowy cavern, cascading waterfall, and mob of unsettling creatures framing the duo in genuine peril. If the promise of "The Midnight Philosopher and Arachne in… Ooze!" doesn't draw you in, that creeping mass of cave-dwellers surely will.
