Beware #9

In "Vampire's Roost," two lovers bound by centuries of blood and shadow endure their eternal existence within a crumbling castle, their lives a quiet defiance of time. When a descendant arrives with his fiancé, the ancient walls seem to pulse with memory—and the past begins to whisper. Art Gates' striking art, signed in both pencils and inks, brings a haunting elegance to this chilling tale, while A. C. Hollingsworth's cover captures the gothic dread with moody precision. A 10-cent comic from 1954, it’s a rare, atmospheric entry in the genre’s early years.
