Web of Mystery #7
In "Carnival of Terror," art painter Dwight spirals into a feline frenzy, his mind twisted by his obsession with cats—literally transforming in eerie, partial ways. When his girlfriend tries to calm him by mimicking a cat, the sight snaps him back to reality, leaving him shaken and vowing to destroy every cat painting he's ever made. A surreal, eerie tale from 1952, this issue stands out for its strange, dreamlike horror and the chilling moment when art consumes the artist. Cover by typeset.
