“Rumpelstiltskin”

In "Rumpelstiltskin," a 1954 Charlton classic, Steve Ditko’s eerie artwork brings to life a chilling tale of a demon who covets human skin not for flesh, but for the torment of inscribing it with the marks of the damned. When a desperate miller’s daughter is lured into a deadly bargain, the line between fate and horror blurs in this haunting, visually striking story. The cover, also by Ditko, captures the tale’s unsettling mood with stark, expressive lines.
