Bob Forgione kicks off your head--- I mean, kicks off a 3-day "Severed Head Fest" today with this beauty from the Feb – March 1954 issue of Out of the Night #13.

TOMORROW: It's "Your Head For Mine" as we begin our Journey into Fear (#10.)
the surprise ending? Golden Bat comes to life and runs the guy through! Golden Bat, Go! oops, it's not Golden Bat is it? just looks like Golden Bat. Ha!
Ah...another tale of arrogant Westerners who do not respect foreign traditions and culture in their quest for greed. These two lost their heads. Bush only had a couple of shoes thrown at his!
Excellent ending to this story. And when the skeleton arose to a sword fight, I imagined the great Ray Harryhausen.
I WAS REMINDED OF HARRYHAUSEN TOO WITH THIS ONE. A COOL TALE EVEN THOUGH WE ALL KNOW AT THIS POINT HOW THINGS WILL TURN OUT FOR THE DISREPSECTFUL INFIDELS......BUT THAT IS THE FUN OF THESE STORIES AND THE FORGIONE ART IS GREAT AS ALWAYS.
It inspires a new song. "Wicked Al-Krullah and His Diamond Contacts." It's sung to the tune of "Willy the Wimp and His Cadillac Coffin" by Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Nice art, and the living skeleton was a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteEw, more upsetting eye trauma! He may have been dead, but the visual image of somebody squeezing those diamonds hard into ... ok, I'll stop now.
