As part of The Chilling Archives of Horror Comics series, it showcases the unhinged artwork and morbid narratives that defined the era before the Comics Code Authority cracked down on such content.
"City of Fearful Night" delivers a chilling, visually striking tale from The Chilling Archives of Horror Comics! #21, a 2017 IDW/Yoe Books release. Artist Jon D'Agostino brings the story to life with stark, atmospheric art, capturing the haunting power of a witch doctor’s vengeful return from the dead. The cover, a collaborative effort by Bernard Baily, Art Fuentes, Angelo Torres, and Drazen Kozjan, mirrors the story’s dark, primal intensity.
