Tomb of Darkness issue number 14 from Marvel Comics. Published February 4, 1975. I really dig the image on the cover — a blond woman is standing in front of a mirror with her hands in front of her, and she looks scared. In the mirror we can see what she is scared of — it is some kind of zombie/Frankenstein monster looking creature, with stitches all over him. We can also see his hands on the left side of the cover. A blurb hypes “Death’s Dark Image! A twisted tale of vengeance from beyond the grave!” I hadn’t heard of this book so I had to look it up. Apparently Tomb of Darkness was a reprint book that repurposed old horror stories from the 1950s.

The comic book Marvel Super-Heroes issue number 50, published on February 4, 1975. Cover price is 25 cents. Hulk and Sub-Mariner are billed as the featured stars of the book, and Hulk is shown on the cover, along with his alter-ego Bruce Banner and some weird looking red guy in maybe a flying saucer? Hulk looks mad, as usual, and Banner is lying on his back, shirtless and unconscious. One text blurb states “See ol’ Greenskin trapped in... a world he never made!” A second text blurb states “Also: Prince Namor battles for his life against the power of the Plunderer!” This issue reprints two stories from Tales to Astonish issue number 95 from 1967.
