Uncanny Tales #19
"In the Beginning!" kicks off with a haunting twist on the Old West, as two uranium prospectors survive a terrifying stampede—only to learn the buffalo weren’t just animals, but the vengeful spirits of a slaughtered herd from a century past. Written by Richard E. Hughes and illustrated by Pete Costanza, with inks by Sheldon Moldoff, this eerie tale blends frontier grit with supernatural mystery. The cover, a striking double-draw by Ogden Whitney, captures the moment the past erupts into the present.
