The Crypt of Terror #17

Apr 1950 · EC · 0.10 USD
“Death Must Come!”

In "Death Must Come!", Ralph is consumed by fear after a mysterious scratch from the Wolfsbane plant and a string of gruesome murders in his town, pushing him to the edge of madness. Written, drawn, and inked by Johnny Craig—whose distinctive style defines the eerie tone—this 1950 EC horror classic blends psychological dread with supernatural unease. The cover, also by Craig, captures the creeping tension of a man haunted by his own mind.
