Tales of Satanism / The Awful Letter

Pucker up and give us a farewell smooch, as we finish out March with another deadly double feature-- it's two short tales from ACG, both delving into demonic doings; the first story from the July 1952 issue of Forbidden Worlds #7 with art from King Ward, and it's your usual deal with the Devil gone wrong type set up, but contains a nice fat twist! The second icky incubi quickie is from the February 1953 issue of Forbidden Worlds #14 with weird art by Pete Riccia. FYI: I'll be taking a break in April with posting as I have a much larger but equally cool project in the works (news about it coming soon), so never fret, and definitely don't look at it as another awful letter-- it'll just be one more thing to add to your list of "must haves!"

STAY TOMBED!!

Paid in Full / Out of My Mind

Two stories from the Dec '51 issue of Astonishing #7, the first one possibly art credited to Harry Lazarus (looks like him to me), --and the second tale by John Romita! And how about that cool cover from the ever awesome Joe Maneely! My copy of this issue has definitely seen better days...

19th Annual HAASHOW Highlights

Taking a quick breather from the comics for a bit with a handful of horror highlight photos I snapped at the 19th annual Halloween and Haunted Attractions Show here in STL last weekend (see more highlights from the 17th annual HAASHOW HERE!) The fine, frightening folks in the scare industry really know how to top themselves each and every year, making this show one of the most awesomely creepy convention experiences ever! Masks, costumes, props, concessions, you name it-- if it's part of your haunt then this show has got it! I also bought a cool Frankenskull mask from my pals at Trick or Treat Studios, --I even met actress PJ Soles and she signed my Carrie and Halloween dvds!
