Description

So not much to say personally about this cover, other than it is a great cover. Pencilled by Joe Orlando, this is probably as close as I am going to get to owning an "EC" Cover by an EC artist. The expressions on all the faces (including the gargoyle) and its purposeful movement and perfect.

I'd buy that for a dollar.

A terrifying take on a common nightmare theme! The work on the sheer curtains with the softening of what's behind them is a nice touch.

Hot Dollar Comics showcasing all new material, but with old school horror tastes! Joe Orlando and Dick Giordano's cover does have the EC, Wrighton, Kaluta type of horror illustration style that gets the most out of the very popular trope of kids in peril theme!

An incredible example of a bronze age horror beauty!

A perfect classic. What is more common that children being afraid of monsters? This may indeed be as close as you'll get to owning an "EC" Cover by an EC artist, but it's also a great example of Dick Giordano using his inking technique to give it a Neal Admas look and feel!
