Tales of Horror #5

In "The Man Who Lost His Shadow," a legendary chess master faces a chilling challenge from a mysterious opponent who plays with real human lives as pieces. Written and drawn with eerie precision by Frank Giacoia and Mac L. Pakula, this haunting tale from Tales of Horror #5 (1953) unfolds as a ghostly rematch from beyond the grave. The cover, by Moe Marcus and Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio, captures the dread of a game where the stakes are far more than victory.
