Uncanny Tales #17

A moonlit graveyard sets the stage for this February 1954 Atlas horror anthology, with cover art by Bill Everett delivering a genuinely unsettling scene: a green-skinned, headless figure carries a limp woman through a cemetery while a leering skull rises from a freshly dug grave, a shovel planted in the dark earth nearby, and a bat silhouettes itself against a full moon. The lead story, "I Live with Corpses!," promises the kind of macabre imagination that made Uncanny Tales a reliable monthly chill, rounded out by three more tales — "From Out of the Night!," "Tomorrow I Die!," and "The New World!" — all for a dime.
