Scripted by Stan Lee and framed by Harry Anderson’s original cover, this issue captures Marvel’s experimental approach to genre fiction during the early Bronze Age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStory Breakdown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening narrative follows a criminal figure who inherits a property containing a cemetery and secures a steam shovel to clear the burial ground. “The House That Fear Built” shifts to science fiction, tracking John and Mary as they explore a structure that materializes overnight beside theirs, only to uncover it as an ambush engineered by Venusian invaders. Psychological tension drives “The Nightmare!,” which documents a woman’s therapy session recounting her recurring visions of a suffocating domestic routine. The anthology closes with two standalone features: “The Girl Who Didn’t Exist!” illustrates clean linework by Paul Reinman, while “The Frightened Man!” highlights heavy ink shading by George Roussos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEdition Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally priced at $0.20 for newsstand distribution, this release maintains the standard U.S. magazine dimensions and standard newsprint stock characteristic of Marvel’s 1973 horror line.
