"In the Shadow of Tragg" delivers a chilling tale of deception and theatrical dread in Where Monsters Dwell #33, a 1975 Marvel gem. Written and illustrated with sharp, moody precision by Ogden Whitney, the story follows a desperate actor who manipulates a fellow performer into a terrifying role—only to find himself the victim of the very performance he orchestrated. The cover, a striking piece by Gil Kane and Al Milgrom, captures the creeping unease of the tale.
