Any hardcore monster manic who has trolled the internet for monster images from sources like Pinterest and Tumblr has surely come upon the often-used atmospheric cover scan from this comic. Well, today I'm not only showing you the cover, but posting the entire issue!
Unfortunately, the cover artist has not yet been positively identified -- too bad, because it's very worthy of note. It illustrates the title story, "The Mummy's Hand" by E.C. alumnus George Evans. Lettering is by veteran Ben Oda (in the days when most all lettering was done by hand), who also did work on Warren's CREEPY.
This is pretty good ghostly fare here, folks. It's cover-to-cover ghost-est with the most-est!
