Lure of the Sea Hag

The great Gene Colan passed away last month (June 23rd, 2011), but his amazing legacy lives on forever in some of the greatest comic books and artwork of all time. And while recently digging through my pre-code boxes in search of stories for a seperate project, I stumbled upon this tale in the July 1952 issue of The Beyond #13. It's unmistakeably an uncredited Colan classic, (and lucky for us, also fits nicely into our current "Horror on the High Seas" theme.) Dig the zombie close-up at the top of page 6, who else but Mean Gene could capture such a superbly weird look of horror and sadness on the face of the living dead?
