The Witching Hour #1
In "Save the Last Dance for Me!", a quiet tragedy unfolds in a sleepy town where a lonely boy named Terwit is mocked for his size, retreating into a clock tower that stops at midnight. Years later, the grown men who once tormented him return to the tower—only to vanish in terror, their screams echoing through the silence. Written and illustrated by Alex Toth, this haunting tale blends melancholy and mystery in a story that lingers long after the final page. The cover by Nick Cardy captures the eerie stillness of the moment, a 12-cent glimpse into a haunting legacy.
