    Cover by Hy Fleishman. Stories and art by A.C. Hollingsworth and others. A pre-Code horror series that is not as well-known other horror comics, but makes up for it with grue. When the old rivalry between two barons is revived by horse-racing and murder, a mysterious horse appears on a mission of vengeance. A Civil War soldier shares a magic charm with his sweetheart that will keep them united through life and death, but he didn't really think about what that means. Archaeologist Dr. Peale finds evidence of a race preceding the Native Americans, and awakens things that were better left in slumber. First issue to feature the Comics Code seal on the cover. The Mardenburg Curse; The Final Waltz; Shadow over Manton Farm; Don't Box Me In. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
