Scary Tales #15

A man seated in a chair clutches a glowing red book labeled "Scary Tales," declaring he feels a strange power surging through him — one that could let him conquer the world — while swirling around him loom a grotesque owl-like creature, a reptilian monster, a sinister skull-faced figure, and a sleek black cat prowling at his feet. It's a wonderfully unsettling image from Charlton's 1978 horror anthology, rendered with sharp, confident linework by cover artist Dick Giordano. Inside, writer J. Anderson and artist Carlos Vila deliver the spine-tingling story "Fear-Feeder" — perfect reading for anyone who appreciates their horror served with a side of pulpy dread.
