The Witching Hour #24

DC's long-running horror anthology reaches its 24th issue with a cover by Nick Cardy that sets an immediate chill: a red-coated woman races in terror down a dimly lit street, a massive, grasping hand looming from the shadows above her, while a posted warning on the wall reads "WARNING! STRANGLER LOOSE! WOMEN MUST STAY INDOORS AT NIGHT." Peering from the upper corner, the series' familiar witch hostess watches the scene unfold beneath the midnight title. Now arriving monthly as of 1972, this issue also features "Where Nightmares Never End," with interior work fully crafted by Alfredo Alcala — reason enough for fans of atmospheric horror to seek it out.
