Weird Mysteries #5

June 1953 Gilmore Publications
Another horror classic! While this terrifying cover surely caused many a young lad to beg his parents this buy this issue, the lad was mighty disappointed as there's no story inside relating to this gruesome cover. That's too bad as one can surely imagine some macabre nightmare resulted just from the cover alone! Fortunately, there is a Basil Wolverton story inside! And, it's a classic too! "The Swamp Monster!" This title had some great covers, none quite as horrific as this but darn close!
