Ghostly Weird Stories #120

"Night-Monster" in Ghostly Weird Stories #120 (1953) delivers a chilling shift in tone as Ray Alexander, fresh off completing his sci-fi comic "Dimension," finds his work dismissed by his editor—despite its merits—on the grounds that readers crave horror. Written and illustrated by Jay Disbrow, the story captures the eerie tension of creative rejection with a supernatural twist, all framed by L. B. Cole’s haunting cover art.
