Shadows of Death
As promised, here's another fright-filled fight against creepy, reekin' crime-- from the March 1954 issue of Fight Against Crime #18. The Poe-esque story concept and freaky deeky art by Jon D'Agostino is made only more bizarre by the occasional off-register coloring here which seems to somehow add to the spooky shenanigans! Maybe put on a pair of 3D glasses and see if anything extra eerie happens...

Ah, a tale of haunted toxic masculinity as old as the hills. I definitely liked the fevered nutjob artwork here: All those weirdly crushed-in closeups and sweaty yellow faces. All the spotty corpse parts (by the end, she matches her own bikini!). And all the other little things! Literally! Almost all the accessorizing in the panels--the pack of smokes on the side table, body parts sticking through the wall, the hammer and axe heads--are all in some wee diminutive scale. This one looked more like an experimental story from RAW than a pre-code crime yarn.
