In "The Window," a 1950 Seaboard Publishing gem, young Tommy Woodry finds himself caught in a chilling moment he can't explain—watching a murder from his apartment window, only to be dismissed as ever the storyteller. Written by Cornell Woolrich and Dana E. Dutch, with moody art by H. C. Kiefer and lettering by H. G. Ferguson, the story blends suspense and doubt in a quiet, unsettling tale. The cover, also by Henry Kiefer, captures the tension with a single, watchful eye.
