Dark Mysteries #20

In "The Clutch of the Devil Fish," a haunting tale from 1954’s Dark Mysteries #20, an old executioner named Pierre takes on a young assistant, Jean, unaware that his own jealousy will ignite a chain of horrors. When Jean begins to bond with Pierre’s wife, Marianne, the executioner’s rage leads to a fatal mistake—one that doesn’t end with death. Gerald Altman’s stark, expressive art brings the story’s grim atmosphere to life, while Hy Fleishman’s cover captures the chilling moment of terror and transformation.
