Did anyone really think I'd present an "All Atlas Month" of posts and not feature Bill Everett? There was an anonymous request for "More Maneely!" earlier this month too, and you know I'm here to please! Both tales today come from the April '52 issue of Advs into Weird Worlds #5... fun, spooky stuff, and a great way to close out our Atlas fest as well as June '09. And don't forget about THOIA's first ever poll... want more Atlas in July? Or less? Then vote NOW!

Blood Brothers! / Stranger from Space
Super Request Sunday this month features two cool Atlas tales of horror! Our first story is from the Sept. '52 issue of Suspense #22 and is for Joey Deadcat who put in a request for more George Roussos earlier this month. And the second tale is for John Kaminiski, it’s a far-out Sci-Fi classic with some weird Matt Fox inked art by Gil Kane, (thanks Tamfos!) from the Oct. '53 issue of Mystic #24.
Got a request too? Drop me a line--- anytime! And don’t forget to cast your vote on the THOIA poll before the month is over! All Atlas again or not in July--- you decide!

The Dark Tunnel / From Out of the Night
Earlier this month we had a squirmy, wormy, Atlas double feature, and today the bugs are back with yet another deadly double shot of the shivers--- two stories from the always superb, Mr. Gene Colan! Our first story comes from the very first issue of Mystery Tales #1 (March 1952), and our second story from the February 1954 issue of Uncanny Tales #17. I hope one of you remembered the bug spray!

The Weaker Sex! / Sleep, My Love!
Dick Ayers and Jim Mooney battle it out today in the manly Atlas ring, which one wins? And which one has the bigger, more obvious issues with the opposite sex?! I'd love to hear from some female commentors on these two tales today...
Both from the December 1953 issue of Spellbound #18.

Terror Below! / Terror in Time
For those of you that raved about the Al Eadeh story in our last post, here’s a double dose of terrors for you that further showcase his brilliantly bizarre, brain damaged style. The first tale comes from the July 1954 issue of Mystic #32, and the second from the December 1953 issue of Spellbound #18. Enjoy!
