FATE OF ALBERTO



From...


Back in January 2008, I posted two stories from the August 1954 issue of Tales of Horror #12: "Welcome to My School" and "The Pallbearers.
"Today's fateful post comes from the same issue, and it's a wonderfully wicked tale of black magic and epic DOOM, superbly visualized by Ellis Eringer. 
I have to say, as good as today's story is, it's nothing compared to the fascinating man who illustrated it.

HITLER: THE ULTIMATE TYRANT



This astonishing bronze bust features a grotesque glimpse of the Holocaust inside Hitler's hollow head.

To view it, one looks through Hitler's eyes.
