“Behind the Dreadful Door!”

In "Behind the Dreadful Door!", a desperate painter stumbles upon a mysterious room he believes holds the secret behind a renowned artist's genius—only to find himself unexpectedly drawn into a surreal, otherworldly realm where reality bends and the models are far from ordinary. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with moody, atmospheric art by Gene Colan and John Tartaglione, this eerie 1977 tale blends psychological suspense with supernatural intrigue, all rendered in striking detail by Dianne Buscema’s colors and Artie Simek’s lettering. The haunting cover by Ernie Chan captures the story’s unsettling mood perfectly.
