Sometimes a title just doesn't do the story justice...
...as this terror-tale from Comic Media's Horrific #4 (1953) aptly demonstrates!
When it was reprinted in the same publisher's Weird Terror #13 (1954), the title and opening caption text were altered...
...but nothing else (except the coloring, which was a normal matter in reprints) was changed!
The original creatives are unknown.
Because the Comics Code Authority had strict rules about gore and horror content, it couldn't be reprinted in comic books between 1954 and 1971.
So it was redrawn by Oscar Stepancich, using the exact same script, for Eerie Publications' b/w magazine Horror Tales #V4N7 (1969).
