“The Cloth of Death”

A giant clawed hand clutches a pin-skewered voodoo doll amid roaring flames on Dick Giordano's unsettling cover for this 1963 Charlton anthology. In the background, a concerned man asks "What is it, Joan?" as a wide-eyed woman in green responds, "I…I don't know…I feel strange…odd!" — the implication deliciously clear. With stories including "The Cloth of Death" by writer Joe Gill and artist Charles Nicholas (inked by Vince Alascia), Unusual Tales #40 delivers exactly the kind of eerie, supernatural suspense the series promised its readers.
