Adventures into the Unknown #3
In "The Witch-Cat of Salem," a 1949 tale from Adventures into the Unknown, the dark legacy of Dr. Gaunt resurfaces when historian Rand and his assistant Betty move into a reconstructed 18th-century estate in Whispering Hollow. After a century and a half of silence, Gaunt’s malevolent spirit returns—not as a man, but as a black dog, stirring ancient horrors beneath the surface. With Al Feldstein handling writing, art, and inks, and Ed Moritz’s eerie cover capturing the dread, this early horror story blends gothic atmosphere with a chilling return of the past.
