Why this sort of piece was left unfinished is a mystery to me. Wrightson was certainly not working on spec at this point in his career. Perhaps he put it aside to concentrate on the BADTIME STORIES anthology. It is interesting to note that there is no work number on this page (like J-295, for instance, if it had been slated by editor Joe Orlando for inclusion in an issue of HOUSE OF MYSTERY).
I suspect yours is the first attempt at this story by Wrightson, but take a look at this version of the same page:

I've also seen another Wrightson drawing of the driver with the horse and carriage, but at a greater distance away, and with rats in the foreground. I wonder why he had three attempts at the same page, then never finished the story?
