    Pre-Code mystery and horror stories from Canadian publisher Superior. A crook soon regrets stealing a cursed gem from the coffin of his aunt's twin sister, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. After the grisly murder of his wife (in an iron lung!), Bill is repeatedly visited by a woman who looks just like her. Watching a horror movie unleashes the beast within henpecked Horace, turning him into a werewolf with a taste for the ladies. Some horror-comics covers are symbolic, but this cover actually illustrates a scene from the comic, when gangster Big Jim visits a hellish nightclub called the Charnel House. Trapped in the Tomb; The Deadly Double; Mark of the Beast; Horror a la Mode; Call Me Monster. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
