“Kill Me Gently!”

"Kill Me Gently!" is a standout tale from the 1981 Terror Tales Album #15, a striking short story written by Jack Oleck and brought to life with moody, expressive art by Alfredo Alcala, who handled pencils, inks, and lettering. The story follows a man whose self-image is tied to a mask he wears, exploring the fragile line between beauty and truth when he finally reveals his face to the woman he loves. The cover, a dramatic piece by Joe Kubert, captures the story’s tension with a haunting, stylized image.
