The Vault of Horror #4

"A Stitch in Time!" is a chilling tale from The Vault of Horror #4 (1991), a standout issue written by Al Feldstein and Bill Gaines and brought to life with haunting art by Graham Ingels, whose inks and the moody colors by Marie Severin heighten the dread. The story follows Robert, a grieving widower whose quiet visit to his wife’s grave takes a sinister turn when he meets Irma—another widow with a dark past. As their marriage begins to unravel, the line between guilt and retribution blurs, and the cemetery itself seems to remember every secret. The cover, a striking piece by Johnny Craig, captures the story’s creeping unease with a single, unforgettable image.
