Tomb For Two
Alright, since everyone’s gag reflexes are working overtime let’s take a breather for a few posts and settle in with a nice romantic love story double feature… how’s that sound? I’m sure you all could use a happy ending right about now anyway, right? Riiiight. Grab a hanky because this one may just leave a tear in your eye.

ReplyDeleteOf course it's a happy ending, this is a horror blog!
ReplyDeleteWhen Achan son of Zerah acted unfaithfully regarding the devoted things, did not wrath come upon the whole community of Israel? He was not the only one who died for his sin.' "

These comics rot your mind! What would Jesus do?
For a fire has been kindled by my wrath, one that burns to the realm of death below. It will devour the earth and its harvests and set afire the foundations of the mountains.

Ha ha! I'm totally kidding. Bible quoters are LAME! Why are you reading this blog about horror comics? Should you be out protesting the new Harry Potter book?
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Welcome back Jeff... I guess you're gonna attack me now the way I attacked your blog eh? Bring It On Mutha!!
ReplyDeleteElsa Morgan was always a bit of a stiff.
ReplyDeleteNecrophilia and suicide endings make for great "Grade A" wholesome family entertainment!
ReplyDeleteyeah, thanks comics code for protecting my impressionable young mind from the evils of comic books
ReplyDeleteHorror after the Honeymoon would have been a better title.
ReplyDeleteI really like this one. No monsters or ghosts (those are great too, but it's a change of pace) -- just a man driven crazy and what, at least to me, is a happy ending. Except for the taxidermist. That guy got the short end of the stick!
Art was pretty shaky, but the story saved it.
I actually like the Iger shop art. It's funny how a lot of the same characters pop up in all their different stories.
ReplyDeleteSuicide is a re-occuring theme for their stories. I think their writer, Ruth Roche thought suicide was romantic. People used to think it was.
There was a book that was a popular sensation, I think by Goethe, in the nineteenth century that apparently caused a Wertham type panic in its time. It became fashionable for young people to commit suicide to prove their love, just like the fictional lover.
