In "Nightmare!", a haunting tale from 1955, former soldier Dan McGraw is tormented by the spectral memories of his fallen comrades—ghosts that refuse to let him forget the gold he stole and the lives he betrayed. Drawn in by the chilling art of George Woodbridge and the stark inks of Angelo Torres and Frank Frazetta, the story unfolds with a quiet dread as guilt finally catches up to a man long buried in his past. The cover, penciled by Woodbridge and inked by Torres, captures the weight of that reckoning in a single, unforgettable image.
