On the Thirteenth Floor, everyone can hear you Scream! A ‘McNasty cover poster’ by Brett Ewins.

In The Thirteenth Floor, inside drawn by Jose Ortiz and written by John Wagner and Alan Grant (jointly as Ian Holland),supercomputer Max visited nightmarish comeuppance upon anyone (such as the bailiff) who threatened the residents of Maxwell Tower.

Talking of horror comics, while looking for a suitable cover for today I found this from 1973. Savile and other now-known abusers, notably Paul Gadd and Rolf Harris, appeared fairly regularly in IPC comics in the 70s and 80s, as entrenched, accepted and promoted in that medium of huge influence as they were across popular culture.
