"A Feast for Rats" in Terror Tales #5 (1972) delivers a chilling first encounter with the aftermath of an ancient alien civilization, its ruins whispering secrets to the first human explorers to set foot on the distant world. Walter Casadei’s striking art brings the eerie silence of the dead planet to life, while Bill Alexander’s cover captures the dread of what lies beneath the surface.

In the quiet hush of a moonlit cemetery, a man awakens to thunder and a shattered past—his memory gone, his mind a blank slate. He stumbles into a forgotten house where shadows move with purpose, and the air hums with voices from beyond. As ghostly figures close in, a chilling truth begins to surface: he is not who he seems, and the past he’s lost may be far darker than death itself.
