Vault of Evil #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Old Mill," a vengeful escaped convict returns from the grave to confront a hermit whose secret lies buried beneath an old mill. Written by Paul S. Newman and illustrated by Al Luster, this chilling tale unfolds in a remote, foreboding setting where the line between the living and the dead blurs. The haunting is rendered with eerie precision, and the cover by Frank Brunner captures the story’s grim atmosphere perfectly.
In "The Face That Followed," a hermit’s quiet life shatters when an escaped convict, seeking revenge for his murder, tracks him down to reclaim the stolen loot. The hermit’s fate takes a chilling turn when the police arrive—only to open fire, mistaking him for the very man he killed.
In "The Mystery of the Doomed Derelict!" from Vault of Evil #4 (1973), a haunted sea captain haunted by his own cruelty sails a cursed ship, searching for a crew willing to serve him not out of fear, but respect—though his past may be too deeply etched in his ways to ever change.
In "Till Death Do Us Part," a man's simmering rage over his wife's infidelity reaches a breaking point—only for the world to end in an instant. As atomic war erupts, their bodies are fused together in a grotesque, unintended union, trapped in a final embrace neither could have foreseen.
