In "The Hunchback!", a chilling tale from EC's Haunt of Fear #4 (1950), a once-powerful Nazi officer—now blind and abandoned in a ruined camp—seeks refuge in the very gas chamber he once used, unaware of the grim irony awaiting him. Written, drawn, and inked by Al Feldstein, this story delivers a stark, haunting atmosphere with a single, unforgettable twist. The cover, also by Feldstein, captures the scene’s oppressive dread in stark, expressive lines.
