Blood of the Zombie

Ahhh, you gotta love a man with a well thought out plan... unfortunantly, today's story does not include a man with a well thought out plan. I mean, how awesome can your scheme be when Step #1 calls for you to be embalmed alive first?! But let's cut the guy some slack, it's probably not easy going through life with a lush, triangular patch of female pubic hair growing right on your forehead.

From the May 1952 issue of Strange Mysteries #5.








NEXT: An instrument of evil!

    Perhaps it's the lateness of the hour, but I'm stumped why they keep saying "hola" in Haiti.

    Outstanding! The opening grabs you... blank-eyed guy with gun demands to be embalmed, then flings wad of cash at undertaker. Another satisfied customer!

    Well, I can't say I didn't see that ending coming down Fifth Avenue with ropes on it (Gee,pages missing from the book? I wonder if that'll come back to bite him in the ass?) but depicting zombies as intelligent, and even scheming, was pretty fun.

    Zombies of old seem a bit confused about what they're actually doing, they're just mindlessly following orders. Modern zombies though are very focused and know exactly what they want... um, delicious brains of course!

    And yeah Prof, the AD is a real hum-dinger... you'd think an international company like Jolola (with offices in NY and Canada) could've provided some illustrations that were at least on par with Miss Crabtree's 3rd grade art fair winners of '52.

    Doc Wertham used an illustration in Seduction of the Innocent of a Tarzan type with a shoulder muscle made to look like a pubic patch and captioned it for those who "know how to look." Guess you know how to look!
