Spellbound #26

From Atlas Comics' anthology of eerie delights, Spellbound #26 (1956) promises "All Brand-New Tales" guaranteed to hold you — and the cover by Carl Burgos delivers on that promise immediately. A terrified man recoils against a brick wall, hands raised in shock, as something unseen bursts from a rope-bound wooden box bathed in sickly yellow light. The teaser "What Were 'The Things in the Box!'?" is exactly the kind of question that makes you flip the page without hesitation.
