“Through the Looking Glass”

In "Through the Looking Glass," John Marshand finds himself drawn into a chilling mystery in the eerie English town of Trelawney, where the legacy of two feuding squires, Tilton and Ghastney, lives on through their spectral hounds. Penciled and inked by Bob Powell in a moody, atmospheric style, this 1954 Charlton tale blends gothic dread with a touch of the uncanny. The cover, a striking piece by Steve Ditko, captures the story’s unsettling tone with its haunting, distorted perspective.
