Question
I have been trying with no luck to find a comic that I loved when I was young.  It was produced in the mid to late seventies.  I vividly remember the cover, which had an amazed man peering behind a curtain into a room, the room was filled with skeletons sitting around a table playing cards.  this may have been a special edition or slightly thicker comic, sorry my memory fails me on the name which doesn't help me to located it.  Any info is very appreciated.  Thanks Glenn

Answer
Hi Glenn

Sorry the cover does not ring a bell for me.  If you can remember any more about the comic, or the types of comics you were buying, I might be able to help you in your search.

For instance, were the inside pages in color or in black-and-white?  Was it a standard sized comic or magazine-sized?  I'm guessing that it had horror-type stories inside, is that correct?  Do you have any idea who the publisher was?  Also, I'm guessing there weren't any recognizable characters like a superhero on the cover.

Good luck, and let me know if you can provide any more info.
