“Closet of Death!”

Charlton's Scary Tales #12 (1978) serves up atmospheric horror with a cover by Demetrio Sánchez Gómez that immediately sets the tone — a self-assured red-haired hostess in a dramatic scarlet gown and gloves holds court amid a dungeon setting strewn with skulls, dripping candles, and an eerie flaming torch entwined with serpents. Inside, the creative team of writer Joe Gill and artist Steve Ditko bring you "Closet of Death!" — a pairing that promises the kind of genuinely unsettling storytelling Charlton horror fans came to appreciate in 1978. If you enjoy your horror with a stylish edge, this issue makes a fine addition to any anthology horror collection.
