Strange Suspense Stories #16
In "I Went To My Own Funeral," a 1954 Charlton classic, brilliant surgeon Basil Jethro and his wife Gertrude make a chilling pact that turns their lives inside out—after Basil takes out an insurance policy on Gertrude, she decides to end his life first. Using plastic surgery to swap identities, she plans to impersonate him and collect the payout, but the twist is far more unsettling than either of them expected. Dick Giordano handles both the interior art and inks, with his striking cover pencils and inks capturing the story’s eerie, suspenseful tone.
