Weird War #27 pg 1

Hooray for complete stories! Extra hooray for a Frank Robbins complete story, with a nautical skeleton. This looks like a good one1 Congrats Lee!

Wow, great set of Robbins pages!!

Love this story-and the cover that ties into it! Robbins' horror was always a fun read, and I wish he had done more.
