Help me remember a classic cover19074

Collector CatCovers private msg quote post Address this user
Aggravating I can't recall which book this is (and Google isn't being much help).

Classic '50s horror cover, close-up of a woman's face, which is quite pretty except the skeletal part as seen through a wine glass held in the foreground.

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
Chamber of Chills #19. There have been a few homages of that cover lately.

Spectacular cover. Way too far out of my price range, though.

Thank y'all. Was driving me crazy I couldn't remember it. And like I said, Google didn't give me much of an answer. Found plenty of images, but all of them were of reprints of the art on the cover of books about horror comics.

I actually bought a "replica copy" of this comic from a forum member who ran a site called "collection connection". I just tried to find the website and it appears to have been taken down. On Facebook, the last post was from June, 2022.

Even Archie Comics got into the act last year. I probably should have picked up a copy, since I don’t ever expect to own the original.

I've bought from him in the past and would again. Just probably not this particular book. 🙂

Hey, we should make this another "Just For Fun" contest.

Someone describes the cover without giving too much away, and we have to guess what it is.

You'd have to come up with some extra rules. Otherwise "Superman confronts a weird alien creature" would have about 900 possibilities in the Silver Age alone.
