☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Die," a 1953 horror tale from Comic Media, a man's quiet life unravels when he kills his wife in a fit of frustration—only to wake up in a twisted afterlife where his crime is just the beginning. Written and illustrated by Ken Landau, the story unfolds with chilling precision, blending domestic dread and supernatural dread in a single, unforgettable sequence. Don Heck’s cover captures the story’s eerie tone, perfectly framing the moment when victory brings a horrifying prize.
In "Die," a young woman named Louella faces a terrible choice when her ward’s son demands her hand in marriage—her heart belongs to another man, Tom. When the son’s jealousy turns deadly, Tom’s spirit rises from the grave, not to seek justice, but to claim what’s his, dragging the son and his father into darkness, and pulling Louella into an eternal, unseen realm.
In "Cemetery," a man driven by ambition and desperation makes a fateful decision that leads him down a dark path. When his hopes for a wealthy future are dashed by the woman he loves, his actions spiral into tragedy—leaving behind a legacy as cold and silent as the graves that surround him.
In "Waterfront," a young man with ambitions of power is tempted by the promise of control over the docks, lured by the dangerous allure of a mob boss’s moll who sees in him a pawn for her own ends. As he steps into a world of shadow and blood, the price of his rise begins to take shape in ways he never expected.
In "Decapitation," a man haunted by his wife’s indifference takes a drastic step—only to find his punishment far stranger than he imagined. After a stormy night of murder and burial, he finds himself winning a radio quiz show, only to be stunned by the prize: his wife’s severed head. The story unfolds with chilling precision, turning a tale of domestic frustration into a twisted afterlife reckoning.
