The Witching Hour #11

Midnight dread radiates from Neal Adams's cover for this November 1970 installment of DC's anthology of the macabre, where a snarling, red-eyed creature looms over a crowd of dark-robed figures gathered around a robed figure presiding atop a raised altar — while a terrified man in the foreground recoils from the chaos unfolding around him. The tagline "It's 12 O'Clock… The Witching Hour!" sets the tone perfectly for the three tales of terror within, including "The Mark of the Witch" with interior art by George Tuska. Adams's moody, shadow-drenched composition makes this issue a fine snapshot of DC's horror anthology line at its atmospheric best.
