Talisman of the Evil Brood

Before you read today's tale, heed this warning--- never scoff at the supernatural!

> SO TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY OF THE ACE FEST?

Yeah, for now... but I'll post more in the coming weeks, don't wanna over do it with just one publisher.

>IS THIS A LOU CAMERON STORY?

Doubtful, though some panels do have a certain Cameron flair. He does have a story in this same issue called The Unsleeping Dead that I posted a few months back so it's unlikely he'd have another full story included... I could be wrong though. Anyone know for sure?

Horror Pariah?

I'm sad this is the last of this week's Ace tribute,it's my favorite so far.LOVE the designs of the demons,and i love the line about "no magic mumbo-jumbo,just the incantation!",hilariously oxymoronic.he kinda reminds me of Kirk Douglas in ACE IN THE HOLE.as for who drew this,sorry,im only good with Atlas and Harvey.

Well now I wish I had just gone ahead with a full week of Ace! Sorry to bum ya'll out, I'll try to bump up the Ace quota next month. In the meantime I will also try to find other stories of Ace quality. That is my solemn promise to you, as your Governor of Horror...
