The artist of this story, John Belcastro, often times went by the pseudonyms "Johnny Bell", "John Bell", or "Jack Bell". <br /><br />He is the same artist who illustrated the story "Ghost of the Gorgon" from Ghost Comics #10, also from Fiction House.<br /><br />http://thehorrorsofitall.blogspot.com/2008/02/ghost-of-gorgon.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-22634241279050413342009-02-03T21:53:00.000-06:002009-02-03T21:53:00.000-06:00German for octopus is sea polyp (Seepolyp).

But I'm still having trouble figuring out where they got "The Dark Abysmal" as the title. Sounds more like the sequel to a movie about a 3-armed Judd Nelson...<BR/><BR/>Don't y'all forget about me...The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-88128607157559226612009-02-03T18:32:00.000-06:002009-02-03T18:32:00.000-06:00Ha ha ha "Friendly little polyp."

Maybe they done set down thar and wanted theirselves a DRINK. But what they really come for was a little LOVE, I 'spect. <BR/><BR/>Yes, the love of a young tow-haired boy. Only one that done understood them li'l ol' love-hongry alien bastards. A little boy name o' Dan'l. Not Daniel, just Dan'l. And Dan'l had a sister, you see, and a mighty fine lookin' gal she was. Tended to crop up in the middle of things, all the time. And she helped Dan'l save that little bastard, on that fateful occasion. <BR/><BR/>Always a-wearin' that red dress, and them perky little ninnies... Lord god almighty...<BR/><BR/>Sorry, lost my place.<BR/><BR/>An' arter them aliens done went 'n' FOUND the love they come all the way across the galaxy to find, they went on home to their own planet.<BR/><BR/>And you know who that tow-haired young'un was, son? Why, he was YORE GRAN'PAPPY, that's who! <BR/><BR/>Now go to sleep or I'll raise a blister on yer ass fer ye.blackwalnut2001https://www.blogger.com/profile/07196245429220452576noreply@blogger.com
