Where Monsters Dwell #5
In "The Return of Taboo!", a skeptical real estate agent does his best to talk a curious buyer out of spending the night in a notoriously haunted house—only to find himself on the receiving end of a very personal scare. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with art by Paul Reinman and lettering by Artie Simek, this eerie 1970 Marvel tale delivers a twist that redefines who’s really haunting the halls. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Jack Kirby, Marie Severin, and Dick Ayers, captures the story’s chilling spirit.

A real estate agent tries to dissuade a man from buying a haunted house, but he insists on spending a night there. He is chased from the house by spirits and is scared off, which relieves the agent, since he is one of the ghosts, and wouldn't want to have to share their home.
