TWISTED TALES (1983 Pacific Comics)

#6 Cover A (1984 Copper Age) High Grade

Synopsis:

This issue of Twisted Tales presents four original horror shorts from writer Bruce Jones, the series editor whose work at Warren Publishing on Creepy and Eerie helped establish his approach to EC-influenced, twist-ending horror with an adults-only edge. An old man with the terrifying ability to manipulate other people's lives through his dreams exercises his power with creeping malevolence. Two ghosts are locked in a nightly loop, compelled to re-enact the violence of their own deaths each evening. John Totleben - best known as the artist on Alan Moore's Swamp Thing - contributes a werewolf transformation story in which a man and his dog face the same terrible moonlit change. A fourth story closes out the issue in the anthology's signature style - tightly wound, morally barbed, and calibrated to sting. Published during Pacific Comics' run as one of the most ambitious direct-market publishers of the early 1980s, with a painted cover by John Bolton.
