“Vengeance of the Tiger Queen”

In "Vengeance of the Tiger Queen," a young doctor and his wife inherit a haunted estate steeped in dread, where the lingering spirit of a long-dead physician and his loyal caretaker continue their grotesque experiments on the forgotten dead. As the new owners confront the horrors of the past, they find themselves caught in a battle where the enslaved victims rise against their tormentors. Dick Beck’s art and Pete Costanza’s inks bring the creeping menace to life, while Jim McLaughlin’s cover captures the story’s eerie, gothic pulse—a 10-cent thrill from 1952 that still sends a shiver down the spine.
