Notes & Trivia[]

  • In 1974, Skywald had planned a new magazine series, which was going to be titled Tomb of Horror, but it was decided that the stands were too crowded to launch a new book at the time, so the contents were repackaged as this issue, which was billed as the "Tomb Of Horror" Special Edition. Editor Alan Hewetson made it clear to the readers that this was a pilot issue, meaning that if the demand was there, Tomb Of Horror could still see the light of day. The question was rendered moot as the entire Skywald line folded within a few months.
  • This issue includes a two-page illustrated editorial page illustrated by Enrique Puchades.
  • This issue includes a two-page illustrated text article called "My Soul Is In Hell", written by Alan Hewetson with spot illustrations by Gene Day.
