“Deadly Dominoes”

In "Deadly Dominoes," a man returns home to find his family gone—only to discover the horrifying truth in the basement bomb shelter, where poison gas has claimed his wife and children. Written by Paul Kupperberg and illustrated by Jeff Aclin with inks by Bob Wiacek, this chilling 1977 tale unfolds with quiet dread, building tension in a single, claustrophobic space. The cover, by Jim Aparo, captures the moment’s grim finality.
