In "I Crawl Through Graves," a chilling tale from Vault of Evil #17 (1975), a man’s desperate scheme to inherit his aunt’s fortune takes a dark turn when he tries to frighten her into an early grave by claiming to see the mark of death in her palm. Written and illustrated by John Forte, the story unfolds with quiet dread as the aunt’s unexpected reaction—visiting her nephew with a gun—reveals a far deeper concern than greed. The haunting cover by Ed Hannigan and Mike Esposito captures the tale’s eerie tone, making this a standout in Marvel’s horror anthology series.
