The Witching Hour #53

DC's long-running horror anthology reaches issue #53 with a genuinely unsettling cover by Nestor Redondo: a decayed, monstrous face looms in the foreground while a frightened young woman covers her mouth in horror, the creature whispering "Claude, my new husband, I have a confession to make…" — a chilling suggestion that beauty and rot share a terrible secret. A candlelit lantern glows ominously in the background as an unsuspecting man stands turned away, blissfully unaware of what lurks beside him. Featuring the story "What Gruesome Grave Awaits Me?" with interior art by Noly Panaligan, this 1975 issue delivers the dread and dark imagination that made The Witching Hour one of DC's most compelling horror titles of the era.
