The Beyond #17
In "The Terror of Dread Isle," a chilling tale from The Beyond #17 (1952), a once-common European pastime—falconry—takes a dark turn when a falconer trains his bird to attack a specific hat, killing anyone who wears it. Years later, fate catches up to him when he unknowingly dons the cursed hat, only to be struck down by the very bird he once commanded. Cover by Jim McLaughlin, this eerie story unfolds in stark, typeset lettering, blending old-world tradition with a supernatural twist.
