Maybe the lil' guy was sick of the same wretched cat food that must be served in that joint!<br /><br />I love the religious ads after the story of Satan's lure; in fact, this tale would have worked well as a "scare the crap out of you into becoming a christian" comic. I remember some of them floating around when I was a kid in the '70s and it worked on me. The story was about a guy who didn't ask Jesus into his heart and found himself falling into the depths of hell because of it. Good stuff.sfdoomedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325396808542883807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-86288677054776615432009-10-01T01:01:21.664-05:002009-10-01T01:01:21.664-05:00This has got to be the first time I've seen a ...This has got to be the first time I've seen a Satanic hag busted by her own damn cat. Course, I'm a little skeptical that she was even a witch to begin with:<br /><br /><i>"MAL-ALLEGRA-DE-MER"</i><br /><br />Um, I think she's a pharmacist. Allegra is a pill, active ingredient fexofenadine (and sometimes pseudophedrine), used to combat seasonal allergies. Mal-de-mer is seasickness. I think she's making sleeping pills for regular business travelers.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-82844420572690199232009-09-30T20:27:17.973-05:002009-09-30T20:27:17.973-05:00I DIDNT THINK THE STORY WAS SO BAD ON THIS ONE, OF...I DIDNT THINK THE STORY WAS SO BAD ON THIS ONE, OFCOURSE IT DOESN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO THE ART THOUGH.........

I'm always surprised at the cornball religious ads inside pre-code comics, or really any comics for that matter. I mean, who was more ill advised and out of their mind, the people placing the ad or the people accepting the ad for print within their own publication?<br /><br />>if only the writer had heeded his own advice in the final panel.<br /><br />Ha #2 John! And yes, everyone listen to Mark (above) and check out the other story from this issue, it's a Lou Cameron classic!Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-36006758549806981802009-09-30T07:42:37.489-05:002009-09-30T07:42:37.489-05:00Gorgeous artworkGorgeous artworkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-53366423106141727082009-09-30T02:25:26.742-05:002009-09-30T02:25:26.742-05:00The art burns brighter than the story, for sure.

I like the basic premise, but it was clunky.<br /><br />Also check out another story from this issue with art by Lou Cameron here<br />http://thehorrorsofitall.blogspot.com/2008/12/one-door-from-disaster.html<br /><br />The top two panels of page three of Cameron's story are striking. It's another case of the art outshining the story, which after a wild ride ends ironically but not that dramatically.Mark Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-1784928487139279162009-09-30T00:55:01.836-05:002009-09-30T00:55:01.836-05:00The art, particularly the border on the opening pa...The art, particularly the border on the opening page, and the dungeon scenes is truly amazing.
