Suspense #29

A terrified man's wide-eyed, screaming face dominates this Atlas Comics chiller from April 1953, as a pack of eerily pale, shuffling figures closes in on him by moonlight — Carl Burgos's cover art wrings every drop of dread from the lunar shadows. The banner promises "Big Suspense-Packed Pages," and the teased tales — including "By the Light of the Moon!," "The Raving Maniac!," and "The Man Behind the Blinds!" — suggest the interior delivers exactly that. For fans of early-'50s horror anthologies, this ten-cent Atlas offering is a vivid snapshot of the genre firing on all cylinders.
