From the May 1953 issue of Mysteries Weird & Strange #1, you really gotta love a story featuring a splash page full of fleshless faces, busted skulls, and zombie brains on display!
Maybe I've read too many old horror comics, but I think that looking like he does in the second panel of page 7 would be a pretty damn cool way to spend the last year of your life.
HAA! I AGREE WITH TREVOR, MAKE ME A ZOMBIE AND LEAD ME TO THE CREEPY GAMBLING DEN! I AGREE WITH TODD TOO THIS IS A VERY COOL STORY. THE ART SEEMS CLEANER THAN MOST SUPERIOR STORIES WITH LESS OF THE IGER HOUSE STYLE, ITS STILL THERE BUT DIFFERENT SOMEHOW.
I really dug this one. I'm with Todd on her betting for him and then him losing, but like she said, he never had a chance after all. I guess that's what you get for gambling right after an old friend blows his brains out in front of you!
Excellent. For every time you read a hackneyed story that's been done before, there's an amazingly original little gem like this(And it predates THE SEVENTH SEAL, too!!).
I loved reading the 2nd and 3rd comments. Sometimes I wonder how close us horror fans are to real monsters.

Cool story, although I call foul that she bet on his behalf. Great ghost story in any case, with nothing cheesy to take away from the effect!

I was also glad it didn't cop out with a dream sequence.
Thanks for the comments today so far... I'm actually thinking about maybe posting the rest of this issue, it's full of total insanity.
I think I could get behind that.
great yarns, karswell! for sheer psychological perversity, superiors top even ec. -ivan
