Suspense #26

From Atlas Comics' January 1953 anthology comes this genuinely unsettling issue of Suspense, with a cover by Bill Everett that earns every word of the title. A rotting, green-skinned corpse dominates the foreground — clawed hands outstretched, hollow eyes fixed on the reader — while a terrified woman in a red dress recoils among gravestones behind it, the story title "Worse Than Death!" looming above her. The left-hand strip previews further chills inside: "Alone with a Ghost!," "Man Against Werewolf!," and "The Vampire Killer!" — three more reasons this ten-cent package delivers on its promise of big, suspense-packed pages.
