Scary Tales #9

Charlton's Scary Tales #9 (January 1977) delivers a genuinely unsettling cover by Tom Sutton, featuring a terrified blonde woman recoiling in horror as a massive, jagged-toothed creature looms behind her — its clawed hands reaching through shattered glass or ice — while a small, red figure appears trapped near the monster's gaping maw. Promising "All New" stories, this issue includes "Fabric of Death," written by Nick Cuti with art and lettering by Mike Zeck. A solid entry in Charlton's horror anthology line, with Sutton's cover work setting an appropriately dread-filled tone.
