Dead of Night #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Hidden Graveyard," a subterranean uprising brews beneath San Francisco as molemen, pushed to the edges of the city, plot their revenge after being forced into warrens. When their tunneling triggers an earthquake and citywide fires, they misinterpret the panic as a deliberate attempt to wipe them out—leading them to retreat into the depths, sealing their fate behind a collapsed entrance. Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by Paul Reinman, with dynamic inks by Reinman, this 1974 Marvel tale blends urban dread and underground rebellion. The cover, a striking collaboration by John and Marie Severin, captures the eerie tension of the hidden threat beneath the city streets.
In "Waitin' For Satan," a man with a sharp mind and sharper ambition strikes a deal with the devil—offering his soul for a mere thousand dollars to kickstart his fortune. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story unfolds with quiet dread as one man’s confidence begins to unravel in the shadow of a promise he may not survive.
In "While the City Slumbers!", the molemen of San Francisco’s forgotten warrens rise in quiet fury, their underground world shattered by the tremors of their own rebellion. When a city-wide earthquake ignites fires above, they believe the citizens have turned on them—and retreat, sealing their tunnels forever.
In "Only a Rose," a woman's growing suspicion of her husband's infidelity spirals into a chilling descent, as she takes drastic, desperate measures—only to confront a terrible truth too late. Written with a quiet dread that lingers long after the final page, this haunting five-page tale from *Dead of Night #3* (1974) unfolds with a restrained intensity that makes every choice feel both inevitable and devastating.
