The Witching Hour #5

Midnight dread radiates from Nick Cardy's cover for this 1969 DC horror anthology, where a ghastly, wide-eyed figure reaches desperately from an open window toward a cackling green-robed witch swooping past on her broomstick against an ominous red-brown sky. Lurking in the upper corner, one of the series' witch hostesses watches the scene unfold with gleeful menace, while a village of shadowy rooftops stretches into the distance below. Inside, Pat Boyette handles art, inks, and lettering for "The Sole Survivor!" — a fine example of DC's supernatural anthology storytelling at its late-'60s peak.
