Even if he hadn't signed the splash, precode 50's horror lovers and long time followers of this blog could / should / would immediately recognize the unmistakable, and wonderfully weird work of the one and only, Rudy Palais. And here he is in the shivery Silver Age and still deliverin' the sensationally sweaty goods for Charlton comics this time around-- from the joltin' June 1967 issue of Ghostly Tales #61.
Wow, it's always raining in that cemetery. Step out of the gate, and the moon's up and not a cloud in the sky. Must be spring. The weather here vacillates between extremes. That's probably sleet at the police station.
ReplyDeleteMan I love Rudy Palais.
Jeez, global warming even affects weather in pre-code horror. Now THAT'S scary!
ReplyDeleteI thought that you had stopped posting, but I checked anyway. Thank you for this predictable but well drawn offering. I'll have to check out the other stories from the start of the year. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThis could have been a pre code horror (a mild pre code, but pre code all the same.)
ReplyDeleteMaybe the story was one that didn't get a chance to be printed before the code kicked in and somehow ended up with Charlton, stranger things have happened in the realm of comics publishers.
Just great art. Second panel with the bug eyes, page 4, panel 5, that's the kind of stuff that makes a great horror comic.
ReplyDeleteI love the host just hanging around, and then he's hoofing it out of the crash! That's awesome!
