“The Unwelcome Guest”

In "The Unwelcome Guest," a cursed ship and a crew of spectral sailors take center stage in a haunting tale from Sinister Tales #116. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with art by Dick Ayers—pencils, inks, and lettering—this 1972 British import delivers a chilling maritime ghost story. The cover by Dick Giordano captures the eerie mood, a 60-pence comic in a time when horror tales still carried a quiet, creeping dread.
