I mean, Paul's a dead ringer for Peter Parker in some of those panels.<br /><br />Thanks for the Atlas.

His wife has a phobia, but she's not the monster. His neighbor happens to be a monster. He happens to be friends with the only guy that knows about the monsters, and their weakness happens to be our hero's hobby.<br /><br />And why the hell is Maida up to? Why all the work to capture our hero? This is long before he knows anything is up! Also: "Clean breast of the thing." Paging Dr. Wertham! :)<br /><br />Hartley does a great job, and I like his monster, as goofy as is it. I poke fun but this is another good Atlas tale.Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-88192369491057947792017-10-08T21:37:56.676-05:002017-10-08T21:37:56.676-05:00Not upset, but of course not many of you know the ...Not upset, but of course not many of you know the whole story.

Then again, that sexy next door neighbor had the last name of Leach--which is already a clue in itself.<br />This is already a weird story to begin with because unlike most horror stories where the husband is in an affair and plotting to kill his wife--the wife in question is actually pretty. <br />Things get pretty crazy though once the doctor friend gets added to the story making Paul's decision to finally kill his wife because she must be a monster in disguise really wild. I am amused by how Paul actually believes his dying doctor friend rather than taking him for a man going delusional during his final moments.<br /><br />Glowwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01621527075382017998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-37767647821426021992017-10-08T17:33:59.066-05:002017-10-08T17:33:59.066-05:00I didn't mean to get you upset Karswell, but I...I didn't mean to get you upset Karswell, but I can understand your frustrations with the anti Atlas crowd.<br />No hard feelings I hope.JMR777https://www.blogger.com/profile/03538238702295526065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-55363159462738822482017-10-08T13:43:26.855-05:002017-10-08T13:43:26.855-05:00Don't ban Atlas, Karswell, ban the haters inst...Don't ban Atlas, Karswell, ban the haters instead. <br />What better way to deal with the trolls than to banish them? If trolls can't post they become powerless, which is the one thing they can't stand but can't defend themselves from either.<br /><br />All horror comics should be given a chance to be seen, especially Atlas, since this might be one of the few places to see the work of the writers and artists who worked for Atlas. It would be a shame for their work to become forgotten over time.<br /><br />As always, Thank you so much Karswell for the hard work you do to bring us these great horror comics. <br /><br />JMR777https://www.blogger.com/profile/03538238702295526065noreply@blogger.com
