That's it for the Eerie Pub fest this month... come back in May for a week of my favorite artist ever (if you've been following THOIA then you already know who that is.) Thanks for the comments.
I had this great idea for a sequel for the first one: Dolores and Ti Jon: Zombie Detectives! Seeking justice for the Undead everywhere.
“Zombie Magic” was a reworking of “Corpses on Cue”, from Web of Mystery #18 (May '53), which you more recently posted.
