Weird Mystery Tales #31
"Fit to Kill!" kicks off with Count Von Rauschtine making a high-stakes proposal to marry John Hambleton’s daughter, all while his financial troubles loom large—his fortune crumbling, his debts mounting, and his intentions far from honorable. Written by Carl Wessler and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Lee Elias (pencils and inks), this 1977 tale from Weird Mystery Tales #31 delivers a chilling blend of gothic intrigue and social tension. The cover, a striking portrait by Luis Dominguez, captures the Count’s unsettling charm with a single, piercing glance.
