“Ghosts in the Night”

From Atlas Comics' eerie anthology series comes Mystic #16 (1953), with a cover by Carl Burgos that wastes no time setting a deeply unsettling mood. A tormented figure is shown across sequential panels — writhing, suspended, and pleading ("Cut me down… please! Nothing can be any worse!") — while a shadowy, monstrous presence looms, coldly replying, "That's what you think!" Inside, Carl Wessler and Sam Citron deliver stories including "Ghosts in the Night," alongside the tantalizing promise of "A Scream in the Dark!," "Birth of a Vampire!," and more Mystic tales — exactly the kind of chilling anthology entertainment that made Atlas one of the go-to publishers for horror fans in 1953.
