Karl Malden stars in this sizzling supernatural thriller of vengeance from beyond the ladle, from the February 1953 issue of Strange Stories from Another World #5.Flame on!
The panels are a bit busy in this one, but I like it. Predictable, but with the suspense intact.
Page 5/Panel 3, somebody was aping Ghastly a bit.
Strange Stories from Another World was a ... strange ... comic. You can have clunkers like the last story, and then well written stories like this one.
