Dentist horror comic - 1960s/1970s
Posted: 30 Jun 2026, 09:00
I was born in the UK in 1958, and spent much of the next 15 years reading Alan Class’s reprint horror comics like Creepy Worlds and Sinister Tales. I think these comics were where I found a particular story, which scared the living daylights out of me as a child, and which I would love to
identify and read again.
The story was about a dentist who took revenge on a patient he hated by gratuitously pulling all the man’s teeth out with no anaesthetic.
My recollection is that the patient had been sleeping with the dentist’s wife, but I can’t be certain on that point. I’m guessing I must have read it in the late sixties or very early seventies.
I also think I can remember a particular panel of the story showing the dentist and patient in stark B&W silhouette as the dentist gleefully pulled out the man’s teeth and he writhed in the surgery’s chair.
Any help you can offer in identifying this story would be much appreciated. Thank you.
