Scary Tales #38

Charlton's anthology horror series takes a colorful detour in this 1983 issue, spotlighting Mr. Jigsaw — "Man of a Thousand Parts" — as the blue-and-yellow segmented hero delivers a swift mid-air kick to a startled opponent beneath a canopy of trees. The kinetic cover art by Ron Fortier and Gary Kato crackles with action-figure energy, the impact bursts adding a satisfying pop to the brawl. With the promise of "some old, some new," including the interior tale "Night of the Mummy," this issue offers a lively mix of superhero fisticuffs and classic horror chills for 60 cents.
