I mean, it's got some similar elements, but as EC was using Ray's tales, I find it likely that Atlas might have looked at some of his horror stories and modified them to fit into their many series titles as well.<br /><br />>He became what he in fact was--a cruel-minded worm<br /><br />This comment perfectly sums up what I was saying about the ending in Bradbury short story.<br /><br />>One of the straightest storylines I’ve ever seen in a pre-code horror book.<br /><br />I'd hardly call anything Breifer got into his mitts "straight", but I guess I can also see what you mean.<br /><br />>Some of Briefer's best work.

Works just fine. <br />May I be so bold to make an announcement on my own behalf?<br />I’m currently uploading some missing precoders to the Digital Comics Museum. Go there and hit the search-button for my other alias “tilliban”. You’ll find a handful – and there’s more to come! Mostly ACE titles, the occasional QUALITY or SUPERIOR issue following in the next weeks.SpaceLordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793130148012146870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-30763738918386836722011-08-20T15:00:51.231-05:002011-08-20T15:00:51.231-05:00Oh, to see ourselves as others see us!
How sweet ...Oh, to see ourselves as others see us!<br /><br />How sweet and proper it is when a cruel miscreant gets his come-uppance. The shame of it is that people like the owner never seem to be able to admit that they themselves are the ultimate cause of their discomfiture.<br /><br />He became what he in fact was--a cruel-minded worm. I hope the glassmaker gets the girl, for the worm won't now!Turok1952https://www.blogger.com/profile/16343648514226004142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-41374093470164900892011-08-20T14:03:55.511-05:002011-08-20T14:03:55.511-05:001.

I like the way the mirror maker resented the circus owner fore being more "handsome"; (quotes intended because, I don't know if this is just the artist's style, but everyone in this seemed to be, I don't know, "shopworn" or "gone to seed"!<br /> <br />2. Like the ending too; (i thought it was going to be some variation of how people thought mirrors reflected the soul* or how primitive peoples used to think cameras stole your soul!<br /> <br />*Hence the "vampires cast no reflection/can't be photographed" thing!<br /><br />DBurch7670Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
