Death Song!
HAUNTED HORROR #20 hits comic shops this week, and here's your first FULL story preview from the issue to get you singin'-- it's a deadly Don Heck musical number guaranteed to make your eyes and ears bleed! Originally featured in the September 1953 issue of Horrific #7, we'll have more chilling Don Heck news for you later this month, as well as another HH20 sample in our next post!
"The hands of a true artist are versatile, Ricco. Ha-ha-ha!"
ReplyDeleteWell, this is one of the best lines I ever read.
The circular panel on page 3 is just super clever. Bravo, Heck! This one deserved to be saved from a bit of indiscriminate inking.
ReplyDeleteThis is the one repeated ghost story I never get -- how a haunting that only you can see but doesn't actually physically touch you -- can drive you crazy. If I was haunted by a ghost, eventually I'd get used to it and I'd certainly realize, quickly, that only I can see and hear it. So, I'd just pretend like it isn't there! Sure, it would be annoying at first, but you can only poke the same location too many times before you stop feeling it!

ReplyDeleteThis story is a sort of very loose "HANDS OF ORLAC" variation, which shows that the musician's hands themselves don't always have to be a part of the plot.
