Haunt of Horror 3, page 5

Opening title page to the second Gabriel story.

Pencils and inks by Billy Graham. Page numbering begins with page 5. 14 x 22 mounted on slightly larger board.

Maybe the first page I picked up more for the lettering than the art, but the haunted house image is still pretty nice.

This story was originally 14 pages, but the legend goes that Billy Graham spilled coffee on the final 4 pages, a total of three different times (see editorial in this issue by Doug Moench). This was going with the theme that production of these stories was cursed. Finally, Moench says the final pages were lost in the mail (Alter Ego 146 interview). This necessitated Pablo Marcos and Frank Giacoia and Mike Esposito to redraw the final pages, and expanded it to 7 pages, over one weekend, which were used in the final publication.
