Number 2016: Hairy shadows

When I read this story from Phantom Stranger #4 (1953), my first thought was that hairy shadow looks like what I saw before cataract surgery. Hairy (actually more fuzzy than hairy) shadows...as well as everything else in sight.

That personal note aside, DC’s supernatural comics had a habit of turning what looked supernatural into something more down-to-earth, but this is different. The hairy shadows may not be supernatural, but they're not of this earth. Manly Wade Wellman is credited by Grand Comics Database as writer, with Murphy Anderson (pencils) and Joe Giella (inks) as artists.
