The Witching Hour #32

DC's long-running horror anthology reaches issue #32 with a cover by Nick Cardy that drips with dread: a blonde woman in a green dress gestures frantically while a snarling, wild-eyed figure looms behind her, both pressed against the wall beside an enormous grandfather clock striking midnight — her speech bubble reading "It's 12 o'clock, dear! We're safe from the thing!" The irony of that desperate reassurance, paired with the terror clearly visible on both faces, sets a perfectly unsettling tone for the featured story, "What Evil Taunts This House?" For fans of early '70s DC horror, this 20-cent package — with interior work from writer Carl Wessler and artist Art Saaf — delivers that satisfying chill the series did so reliably well.
