    Cover by Joseph Szokoli. Stories and art by Joseph Szokoli, Vince Napoli, Bill Fraccio and Harry Harrison. Violent pre-Code horror comics from Youthful Magazines. This issue was mentioned in the text (p. 388) of the anti-comics classic Seduction of the Innocent. Grave-robber Harry gets a comeuppance when the dead rise from their graves. An artist for "Beware" comics feels that he's run out of monster ideas, until he meets his son's strange new playmate, in a story that name-drops several other Youthful Mag horror artists. In postwar Germany, American agents investigate a killer stalking a small town, and learn the ancient castle nearby hides a very modern horror. The Body Snatcher; My Daddy Should Have Listened; The Death Waltz; The Pied Piper of Ziess-Baden; Don't Dance With Me When I'm Dead. Final issue under this publisher; Trojan Magazines continues the title and numbering with Beware (1953 Trojan/Merit) #1 (aka #13), while Youthful continues it as Chilling Tales (1952) #13. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
