Bondage in Stone / No Grave to Hold Him

The two remaining illustrated tales from the November 1953 issue of Web of Mystery #21 means another full issue presentation for you full mag completists! (Check the archive for Dick Ayer's Ghoul's Gold, and the batshit crazy horror-larity of Chic Stone's Meet the Cowled Lady!) Today though we have a frightful French ghost story from Ken Rice, followed by a Frankenstein inspired tale of brain transplantation gone wrong (of course) with Sekowsky pencils.
