Ghostly Tales Album #[nn]
In "The Monsters Ride at Night," Bernard Baily's stark art brings to life the creeping dread of Justin Westrum, a man whose guilt over murdering his partner Mack begins to twist reality. Haunted by a curse that promises Mack will "keep an eye" on him, Westrum's paranoia spirals as he tries to bury his crime—only to find that some shadows don't fade with the light. Steve Ditko's cover, with its eerie, angular figures, perfectly captures the unsettling tone of this chilling tale from the 1981 Ghostly Tales Album.
