Behind this art which has nothing to do with the cover-featured tale...
...lies a story not as lurid or sensationalistic as the cover art would indicate!
But it is rather kool...
Illustrated by Charles Nicholas, this cover-featured tale from Quality Comics' Web of Evil #17 (1954) is actually quite mild, compared to some of the incredibly-gruesome material being published bo other companies in those pre-Comics Code Authority days!
BTW, The cover by Chuck Cuidera is an unabashed reworking of the cover for Quality's Ken Shannon #8 (1952)...
...which was inked by Cuidera, but penciled by Reed Crandall.
It matched the issue's story, which had no supernatural elements, about a tong in Chinatown!
