Why collectors want this issue
- Nick Cardy cover — DC's signature cover artist of the early 1970s and a favourite among horror-cover collectors.
- Lead story "Baby Wants Me Dead!" — a murdered woman's killer is doomed by a small child spelling out the truth with his building blocks.
- Art by Lee Elias, Rico Rival and Bernard Baily — a strong line-up for a DC mystery book.
- Three complete stories in one issue, no continued cliffhangers.
- High-grade raw copy; early-1970s DC horror was read hard, so sharp copies are genuinely scarce.
