HORROR OF MIXED TORSOS!

Old Garth, the undertaker's assistant is so ugly he isn't allowed to be seen by customers. One day Faith Wales comes in to make funeral arrangements for her grandmother. Garth is immediately besot with her beauty, but after she too suddenly dies, he finds a way to preserve her body and keep her forever. He'll do anything, including commit murder, to keep her. Let the dismemberment begin!

"Horror of Mixed Torsos" is from DARK MYSTERIES #13 (Master Comics, August 1953) by an unidentified scriptwriter (who'd want to get credit for something like this anyway!) and art is by Dick Beck.

THE RACK OF TERROR!

Today I'm posting an example of Master Comics' horror title, DARK MYSTERIES, whose sister publication, Story Comics' MYSTERIOUS ADVENTURES I posted an example of earlier this week. As you can see, the "tone" of these stories are similar and the artists are interchangeable between titles. The cover for this issue is a dandy!
