Witches Tales #6
In "Murder Mansion," Dr. Marvelle—self-proclaimed "the world's most brilliant explorer and scientist"—discovers a frozen baby dinosaur in an underground cave and brings it to his lab, where he uses his secret formula to revive it. As the creature grows at an impossible rate, it soon dwarfs the Earth, sending the planet hurtling off its axis toward the Sun—only for Marvelle to wake from what he thinks is a nightmare. But as he peers outside, the chilling reality sets in: massive dinosaur footprints mark the ground, and the dream may not have been so far from the truth. Art by Manny Stallman, this eerie 1951 tale from Harvey Comics delivers a chilling blend of science, suspense, and cosmic dread in just a few pages.
