I love Al Luster's stuff.<br /><br />I definitely saw the end coming last weekend, which is when I read the somewhat more padded--and certainly more verbose--version of this story from the 1959 one-shot <i>Eerie Tales</i>, where it was retitled "The Stalker." I like this version way better.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-18594590830708141202020-07-25T03:53:08.480-05:002020-07-25T03:53:08.480-05:00I certainly didn't see that coming!

Like others have said, thought there was a supernatural twist coming. I'm so used to "He's a Werewolf!" "She's a Vampire!" type endings, it's nice to have a "Crime Does Not Pay" finale. And Boy is Lefty ugly! I wonder if he was going to use that thousand dollars for dental work?BTXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285624914733389197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-29729048336558412272020-07-23T20:15:39.477-05:002020-07-23T20:15:39.477-05:00Talbert deserved it.

I'm afraid he's going to kill me."<br /><br />Also, Lefty is misnamed. Going by how his gun keeps jumping from one hand to another, he's obviously Ambidextrous Vale.Bill the Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436195659154078021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-54629107527948612872020-07-23T15:03:20.296-05:002020-07-23T15:03:20.296-05:00Oops!

The killer is subtlety grotesque and I like all the action sequences (staircases, moving around things.)<br /><br />Honestly, this would have worked just as well in a crime comic, probably even better.Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.com
