Dark Mysteries #16
In "The Horror of the Walking Corpse," a 1954 issue of Dark Mysteries, grief-stricken Ann Barlo faces a tragic fate when her selfish sister murders her to claim the family farm. After the deed, the sisters unknowingly use a mysterious fertilizer near an old willow grove—where Ann’s husband Austen Barlo lies buried—sparking a terrifying resurrection. Penciled and inked by A. C. Hollingsworth, this chilling tale unfolds with a haunting sense of dread, while the cover by Hy Fleishman captures its eerie tone in stark, memorable detail.
