Midnight Tales #8

Charlton's Midnight Tales #8 (July 1974) serves up a dinner party gone wonderfully wrong, with a muscular, smoke-wreathed figure bursting from an ornate bottle as a startled man in a blue suit scrambles back while onlookers react with equal parts horror and disbelief — all punctuated by the deadpan quip, "That's the last time we ask Coffin to bring the wine!" Wayne Howard's cover art frames the chaos beautifully, with the dark-clad Arachne watching from the left and a crowd of unsuspecting guests caught in the supernatural commotion. The featured story, "Amnesia!," promises the Midnight Philosopher and Arachne at their eerie best in this all-new anthology from Charlton's reliably entertaining horror line.
