Out of the Shadows #9
In "The Corpse That Came to Dinner," a newlywed couple's quiet return from their honeymoon takes a chilling turn when they learn their friend died by suicide—driven to despair by unrequited love for the bride. Soon, the man’s corpse rises from the grave and begins a relentless, haunting siege on their apartment. Reed Crandall’s moody interior art, inked by Mike Peppe, brings a stark, unsettling tension to this eerie 1953 tale, while George Roussos’s cover captures the dread with a single, unforgettable image.
