Tales of Horror #3

In "The Big Snake!", a 1952 tale from Tales of Horror, a scientist’s reckless experiment with a growth serum leads to terrifying consequences when a giant snake, infused with human blood, evolves into a monstrous, intelligent predator. With art by Mel Keefer on both pencils and inks, the story unfolds with chilling precision, as the creature’s human-like cunning turns New York City into its hunting ground. The cover, by Myron Fass, captures the dread with a striking, full-page image of the serpent’s looming presence.
