Shock SuspenStories #7
In "Beauty And The Beach!", Al Feldstein delivers a chilling tale of vengeance and fate, as the ruthless Chieftan Tajik Kabal—long feared for his headless victims and brutal raids—faces a grim end after his capture and imprisonment. With a plan to escape his dungeon that takes a truly deadly turn, this story from EC’s Shock SuspenStories #7 (1953) blends suspense and dark irony in a way only Feldstein could craft. The cover, also by Feldstein, captures the story’s ominous tone with a stark, haunting image.
