Monster #2
In "The Dark Abysmal," a 1953 Fiction House horror gem, explorer John Gifford battles a curse born from his encounter with an Indian tiger cult, transforming him into a were-tiger he can no longer control. With his wife Julie desperate to contain him, Gifford’s monstrous instincts drive him toward a violent confrontation with a rival for her affection. Penciled and inked by A. Albert, the story unfolds with primal dread, while Maurice Whitman’s cover captures the jungle’s lurking menace.
