This Magazine Is Haunted #20
In "The Monument," a desperate man named Karl Danner takes a fateful shortcut—stealing a coat from a dying stranger and using a mysterious ticket found inside to board a ferry. What he doesn’t realize is that this isn’t just any boat, but a vessel bound for the afterlife, and now he’s trapped on a journey he can’t escape. Bernard Baily handles both art and inks with a haunting precision, while Sy Moskowitz’s cover captures the eerie stillness of the moment. A chilling 10-cent tale from 1954, this issue stands as a standout in Charlton’s eerie anthology series.
