Fantastic Fears #5

In "My Coffin Must Wait," a corrupt city official sentenced to prison uses his claustrophobia as both a curse and a plan, escaping into a coffin beneath the morgue he helped build. With the city morgue now a labyrinth of sealed drawers, his henchman Maxie must search through thousands of ice boxes to find him—before the coffin becomes a permanent tomb. Howard Nostrand’s stark, atmospheric art and Ben Oda’s sharp lettering bring a chilling tension to this 1954 tale of desperation and dread.
