stucked door and covered window seven warriors gather together for memory
party of dead friend. They've got a visitor.
Comment: Brilliant color artwork. Every page have one
pager frame and all the rest frames are inside of it. Prologue
is a little detached and a standing still (for purpose, of course),
story contains not much dialogue. In Edgar Allan Poe version
all white texts on black or dark color background are turned
to black on white or light color background.
Alternative: This story was originally made in color, though Warren
printed it for the first time in B&W. The version they used was the
earlier B&W version. The
color version
was used for the first time in Edgar Allan Poe [says Horror in the
Dark #3 (1991)].
