    Cover by Hy Fleishman. Stories and art by A.C. Hollingsworth and Dick Beck. A pre-Code horror series that is not as well-known other horror comics, but makes up for it with grue. Deranged mortuary assistant Garth takes liberties with the clientele, in a truly messed-up pre-Code story. Mountain climbers encounter the "Ghosts of Chomolungma" at the peak of Mt. Everest, in a story that was written before (but published after) the May 1953 first ascent of Everest. Burt and Bernice get rid of Bernice's husband, who loves housecats, but their fate has a feline form. For some strange reason, most of the stories in this issue are told in the second person ("you"). Horror of the Mixed Torsos!; The Curse of the Shooting Star!; Girl into Vampire; Ghosts on Chomolungma!; Death While the Cat's Away. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10. Grade: Coverless explanation of grade Condition: Used (collectible)
