Scary Tales #36

Charlton's Scary Tales #36 (January 1983) delivers exactly what the title promises: a snarling, slime-green mutant creature bursting through a wooden wall, claws outstretched toward a terrified blonde woman in a pink gown who recoils in sheer panic. Mitch O'Connell's cover work captures that delicious late-era Charlton horror energy — lurid colors, raw menace, and a monster that looks genuinely unpleasant to encounter. Inside, Joe Gill scripts "The Mutant!" with art from Récréo Studio, making this a solid entry in one of Charlton's longest-running horror anthology series.
