NEXT: Lots of Black Magic!

PS: My bestest comicbook bloggin' buddy sends over a darling image of his dear Mother, callin' out in the withered throes of withdrawl from the shadowy corners of Castle Pappy (mainly for more consistant THOIA postings!) Who can blame her?

I wish I still had dreams like that.
Now that's what I call a happy ending! Let's see: since the ferry is now stalled on the Styx, I assume no one can ever die again, the act of transition between life and death having lapsed. And since Cerberus has been brained, I guess all the people who have ever died in the past are now available to return to life! And apparently, evil itself has also been killed outright, so there is no more bad, like, period. Anywhere. But wait, these conclusions contradict each other. Maybe evil has only been catalyzed? Spontaneously?
This story was absolutely great.
IT WAS LIKE SOME CRAZY SINBAD ADVENTURE BUT WITHOUT SINBAD! AND THAT WAS A COOL TWIST AT THE END......SATAN DOESNT WIN THEM ALL IN PRECODE COMICS!
>LIKE SOME CRAZY SINBAD ADVENTURE BUT WITHOUT SINBAD
Without Caroline Munro unfortunantly too though... thanks for the comments so far this morning, and thanks again to Pappy for the creepy pic of his mom (I'll give the ring back soon I swear!!)
I'm thinking all next week I might focus on selections from Prize Pub's Black Magic series... so if anyone has problems or complaints with this please take it up with Pappy's mom.
Great story, but the ending really raises a lot of questions - technically, Satan should still own Stephen's soul, so I guess he really must have killed him in order to make this a happy end. I guess this means that Cerberus is dead too, so quite a successful evening all things considered.
And being dead apparently really sucks, so I guess it's not that happy an ending.
i didn't have time to turn the wheel to avoid crashing because i was too busy telling you that we were about to crash so we crashed.
and if that guy was the handsomest man at the party, woof...
nevertheless, an awesome story!
Page 5: "Through eerie labyrinths and passageways filled with gurgling ploppings of things long-dead... and whorls of streaming filth spewing forth their stinking odors..." Phew! "Gurgling ploppings"? I bet Steve was almost relieved to meet Cerberus!
it's great!
jeaaaaa
really liked this one alot thanks kars!!!
Take one part Lovecraftian purple prose, add one part third grader's grasp of classical mythology, and throw in one part -- no, make that two parts -- of unbridled WTF-ness, and you have pure gold!
haha I like how he didn't realize it was Satan until the end. Could anyone have more obviously looked like Satan?
The art is crude but effective. The whole story had an ACG feel to it...young couple escapes supernatural peril. Very cool story, actually.
You passed the Mom test with this story, Kars...she gave it two bony thumbs up.
Compare “Journey to Chaos” with >“Quest of the Beyond” (reproduced over at Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine in late August).
