The comic is encapsulated in a clear plastic slab and bears a CGC Universal Grade of 3.0, with the additional notation “Brittle Pages.” The horror-themed cover depicts a man strapped into an electric chair, screaming as a robed, skeletal figure (resembling a Grim Reaper) approaches him, while two other men observe from the background.

Smaller text highlights additional stories such as “I DIED AT MIDNIGHT!,” “THE MAN WHO SOLD HIS SOUL!,” “WHERE THE WEREWOLF PROWLS!,” and “MEN WITH FANGS!,” alongside a “HIGH VOLTAGE DO NOT TOUCH” sign.
