Skeleton cover by Hy Fleishman. Stories and art by A.C. Hollingsworth, Hy Fleishman and Jon D'Agostino. A pre-Code horror series that is not as well-known other horror comics, but makes up for it with grue. This issue is hosted by "The Old Gravedigger," a take-off on EC's Crypt Keeper and other horror hosts. In a typically boundary-pushing story, a vampire includes an infant in its list of victims. A ape-human hybrid terrorizes a city. Lady with the Mask of Death; Horror of the Fifth Corpse; Terror of the Man-Ape; Verdict of Terror. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
