Strange Suspense Stories #43

Sep 1959 · Charlton · 0.10 USD
“Dr. Saba's Surprise”

In "Dr. Saba's Surprise," a 1959 Charlton classic, the line between illusion and the supernatural blurs when two charlatans, Dr. Saba and Mr. Kort, attempt a séance that may have gone too far—this time, the dead might not be so easily fooled. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Bill Molno with inks by Sal Trapani, the story unfolds with a creeping unease, hinting at a resurrection that could turn against its creators. The cover by Bill Fraccio captures the eerie tension, a 10-cent mystery from the golden age of horror comics.
