Chilling Tales #16
In "The Mark of the Beast," Greer Fallon makes a deal with the Devil for fame and fortune, receiving a mysterious severed hand that obeys his every command. At first, he uses it to paint masterpieces that bring him wealth and acclaim, but soon the hand’s power takes a darker turn. Art by Steve Kirkel, this chilling 1953 tale from Chilling Tales #16 delivers a classic horror premise with a creeping sense of dread—perfect for fans of early EC-style suspense.
