The Witching Hour #79

DC's long-running horror anthology reaches issue #79 with a cover by Luis Dominguez that crackles with unsettling energy — armed figures train their guns on a caged, glowing entity known only as "X-13," whose true nature clearly baffles even its captors ("Let's take it... whatever it is!"). A cackling witch in a blue pointed hat hovers at the edge of the scene against a darkened, bat-haunted sky, lending the whole tableau that signature Witching Hour atmosphere of dread and dark wit. For fans of DC's 1978 horror fare, this issue — also featuring Carl Wessler's story "Beware the Killer Cactus!" with art by Dick Ayers — delivers exactly the kind of spine-tingling uncertainty the title does best.
