“The Sign of Doom”

In "The Sign of Doom," Lona Thornton’s desperate pursuit of a man promised to another leads her to a witch who offers a love potion with a price too dark to pay. As the potion transforms her beloved into a beast and sends them fleeing into the woods, the witch’s true demand comes due—refusal brings a chilling fate on Halloween night. With moody art by Charles Nicholas, this haunting tale from 1952 blends romance and dread in a classic horror pulp style.
