"Kill Me Gently!" is a standout tale from the 1981 Terror Tales Album #15, a striking short story written by Jack Oleck and brought to life with moody, expressive art by Alfredo Alcala, who handled pencils, inks, and lettering. The story follows a man whose self-image is tied to a mask he wears, exploring the fragile line between beauty and truth when he finally reveals his face to the woman he loves. The cover, a dramatic piece by Joe Kubert, captures the story’s tension with a haunting, stylized image.

Abel (host)Louis Bardon (aka Francois Benet)MadelonAntione DupreeMme. Lafrond

In "Skin Deep," Abel hosts a chilling tale of vanity and revelation, where Louis Bardon—once known as Francois Benet—undergoes a transformation not of body, but of identity, as he crafts a mask to win the affection of the radiant Madelon. When the moment comes to unveil his true face, the reaction from her and the others, including Antione Dupree and Mme. Lafrond, is far from what he imagined.
