Art by Ogden Whitney, King Ward, Emil Gershwin, Edvard Moritz and Leo Morey, plus one story by Al Williamson, Frank Frazetta, Wally Wood, and Joe Orlando. An anthology series featuring tales of fantasy, horror, and science fiction from legendary early independent comics publisher ACG. A couple studying ancient castles in Europe comes upon one that is the lair of an ancient vampire, situated on an inaccessible peak.
