The Witching Hour #78

A wax museum with a sinister secret sets the stage for this 1978 DC horror anthology, and Luis Dominguez's cover delivers the creeps with style — a melting, skeletal figure in formal attire looms in the foreground while unsuspecting visitors file past wax figures of historical villains bathed in eerie yellow light. The speech bubble's promise that guests will be "shocked by the realistic figures" takes on a deliciously grim double meaning when you get a good look at that host. Three tales await inside, including Carl Wessler's "From Fear to Eternity," brought to life by Bill Payne's linework and Jerry Serpe's coloring — solid reasons to spend thirty-five cents at the witching hour.
