Suspense #13

From Atlas Comics' January 1952 lineup comes this thoroughly unsettling entry in their anthology horror series — Suspense #13, promising "stories calculated to keep you in suspense." Joe Maneely's cover art delivers on that promise immediately: a towering, green-skinned creature with glowing red eyes looms over a terrified man holding a lantern, while a red-haired woman cowers in an open trunk below — all set against an eerie indoor scene that makes the domestic setting feel anything but safe. The cover teases three additional tales beyond "The Strange Man!" making this a packed issue of dread from one of 1952's most reliable purveyors of pre-Code chills.
