Journey into Hell

Over the years, we've taken many a journey into the depths of the afterworld here at THOIA, but possibly none quite as hot as this! From the August 1945 issue of Suspense Comics #9, with awesome Nina Albright illustrating Summer's end to highlight just one of our absolute most favorite, and memorably scenic "Fall" moments of 2024-- with plenty more just ahead for all eternity. Stay tombed...

I really like this one though it's really odd. It's more like a Chick tract then a horror story (though many Chick tracts are horror stories!)

I love a super villain devil (great boots and trunks!) and this one in gets in the "don't pack" quip though, yeah, buddy, you *were* an angel at one time!

Great splash, an entire page of good girl art, big moralizing ending ... all the components except the story lacks any forward motion or conflict. Still, I love it! Extra points for the title font, which would show up in fair dark rides often.
