Get your copy before it sells out!

Creatures of the Bomb!

"The murderous fury of the crushing hand of doom struck as the creatures rose from the graves below." Eerie Pubs liked this Moe Marcus tale from the February 1953 issue of Witches Tales #17 so much that they gave it a redraw and retitled it as "Doom Creatures" in Terror Tales as well as Strange Galaxy.

Dimension IV

Time for another giant monster story as part of our most inconsistent themed month fest ever-- sorry, sometimes other stuff comes up! From the February 1953 issue of Witches Tales #17, a wonderfully weird, and very colorful story from Rudy Palais.

The Wolf Howls For You / Curse of the Kolukoffs

I'll be having more horrific give-a-ways in May so stay tuned and don't fret if you didn't win this time! Here are two more 70's Ditko stories from Charlton Comics (remember I said they were gonna be hairy!)

Werewoods / Ditko GORGO Contest

Continuing on with another Giant Monster entry, (that is, if you consider giant murderous living trees as monsters), this time from the great Steve Ditko and from the October 1976 issue of Ghost Manor #31-- though my scans are actually from the reprint issue of Ghost Manor #47. It's WEREWOODS!! Therewoods! Right over there. And speaking of Ditko and giant monsters, if you're interested in winning yourself a copy of IDW / Yoe Books new Ditko Monsters GORGO, all you have to do is this: leave us a comment with your first and/or fondest Ditko memory and you are instantly entered into the werebowl for a drawing to be held next weekend; Craig Yoe or I will pick a name at random. So come on, paint us a picture of how SD became a name in your life. It's that simple. And consider it Ditko Week here at THOIA as well-- more hairy scaries from the legend coming up!
