Vault of Horror #28

In "Till Death...", three partners in a small sawmill are drawn into a deadly game of greed and deception when a mysterious government contract promises fortune—until one of them is cheated out of his share and meets a gruesome end. As the surviving men try to bury their guilt, a chilling presence stirs beneath the soil, and the mill’s cutting machines become instruments of retribution. Written by Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein, with sharp, unsettling art by Jack Davis and bold coloring by Marie Severin, this classic EC horror tale delivers a chilling blend of suspense and moral dread. The cover, by Johnny Craig, captures the story’s eerie tone with a haunting, shadowed image of a man reaching from the earth.
