It's been a bit since we had ourselves a kreepy Krigstein klassik. So fly that freak flag high, you way-out weirdos, this witchcraft laced sideshow oddity comes from the June 1952 issue of Adventures into Terror #10, and is guaranteed to tie you and your nightmares into a nutty 'ol tangle of knotty nots!
These aren't the greatest scans, but it's a wild, Shakespearean entry from the January 1954 issue of Adventures into Terror #27, and the Chuck Winter artwork is freakin' amazing (you guys liked the skeletons in our previous post, --wait'll you get a load of this one!) Has Macbeth ever been so macabre?
Terror team time from Bill Benulis and Jack Abel, taking us out with a hysterically ratty finale from the August 1953 issue of Adventures into Terror #22, --hope everyone enjoyed our Atlas 2024 Fest! I'll try to add more Atlas tales in the coming months, but up next some long awaited requests from other various publications and eras. Stay tombed...
Can't have an Atlas Fest without the good old, piss poor dental hygiene horror of weird ass Al Luster! And if you thought Mr. Snake Fingers was over the top in our previous post, wait'll you get a load of this bird-brained Adventure into Terror (#23, from September 1953.) Plus, Carl Burgos cover art!
Like our previous post, this story is also from the November 1953 issue of Adventures into Terror #25. And for those of you experiencing deja vu with that title, yesss, THOIA has another entry in our Ace Magazines archive HERE bearing the exact sssame name --which also confused me into thinking I had already posted this slithery Atlas classic! I guess I may as well post the full-page "Snakes Alive" novelty gag mail-away offer again too... gosh, I'd love to find one of those ties.
We still haven't found our way out of this groovy graveyard of horror, so let's see how our favorite coffin maker is doing with his latest client. And judging by the title of this story, I'm guessing not so good! From the November 1953 issue of Adventures into Terror #25, with art by big bad Bill Benulis.
It's back to the 'ol gruesome graveyard again, as THOIA continues now with our Atlas 2024 Festival of Fright... and hey, is that the dinner bell of doom I hear a'ringin'? Bon apetit, my friends, --via a different kind of graverobber! From the June 1953 issue of Adventures into Terror #20.
Annnnd hair we go again with another year of classic horror comic madness! It's hard to believe that THOIA is now in its 16th year of petrifyin' posts, and we seriously couldn't have done it without the handful of you that still continue lurking around and commenting, not to mention the occasional wonderful donations of super scans and other assorted scary suggestions. So to those of you out there reading this (and you know who you are) 2024 is deadicated to you for your continued fiendish fellowship and endless, eerie interest! Okay, let's pick things up where we left it all off last year with MORE ATLAS! From the July 1953 issue of Adventures into Terror #21, and fearturing art by the great, Gil Kane!
Time to see if they've made any advancements in life extensions with an early Jay Scott Pike entry from the April 1951 issue of Adventures into Terror #3.
Here's a Hank Chapman horror hit from the terrific April 1951 issue of Adventures into Terror #3, and aside from the spooky fun illustrations, the tough guy dialog here is especially hysterical. I honestly can't think of another story that I've ever posted where the main guy was such an unmitigated a-hole...
