The Thing #11
In "Hansel and Gretel," a 1953 Charlton comic, gambler Leslie Carter’s greed leads him to murder the caretaker of his fortune—only to be tormented by the man’s ghostly presence. Written by Carl Memling and illustrated by John Belfi, the story unfolds with a chilling sense of dread as Carter’s guilt drives him toward a fatal fall down a staircase. The cover, by Bob Forgione and Vince Alascia, captures the tale’s eerie atmosphere in striking detail.
