In "Blood of a Monster [Part 1]," a 1952 Harvey Comics Hits standout, the scheming landlady Mrs. Miterbox hides a fortune in her boarding house while enduring a life of self-imposed misery.

With Russell Stamm handling writing, art, and inks, and Al Avison bringing the cover to life, this issue blends suspense and dark humor in a tale where secrets are as thick as the walls of the boarding house.
