Tomorrow is Today

I've been posting stories here at THOIA since 2007, and aside from one text page entry from 2009 HERE, I believe this is actually the very first Ouija board related comic tale I've ever featured (someone please correct me if I'm wrong.) It's weird though, right? Ouija, or "spirit" boards have been popular since the late 1800's, so you'd think there'd be a bunch of related comic tales. Can anyone think of any others to recommend for future posts here? This also concludes our frightfully fun Fawcett precode series fest of B!TTs... from the July 1953 issue of Beware! Terror Tales #8, with art possibly by Sheldon Moldoff (again), and / or maybe Ed Moline. Now, does anyone know who created that sinsational witch cover?

The Slaying of Joshua Sprague!

There's a lot to beware this November here at THOIA, as I've suddenly decided to keep the blasphemous Beware! Terror Tales train a'rollin' for a few more posts, anyway. And this is an eerily illustrated Andru / Esposito classic with a gnarly mix of satanic supernatural, time travel, and brutal execution-- seriously, don't read this if you have a splitting headache! From the July 1952 issue of Beware! Terror Tales #2. CLANG!

Custodian of the Dead!

Let's do another one from the May 1952 issue of Beware! Terror Tales #1, and this time from the great, Shelly Moldoff! We have a super Bernard Baily cover to show you as well! Okay, "Custodian of the Dead" is an interesting title for a story, and on a similar note, way back in 2013 we put together the great Jack Cole's Deadly Horror collection (that you can still order by CLICKING HERE if you haven't already done so) which also contains a story with the exact same custodial title! Read it right HERE in the THOIA Archive after todays post...

Ghost Hounds of Trelawney

A ferocious Bob Powell story from the May 1952 issue of Fawcett's Beware! Terror Tales #1 kicks off our November 2023 series of posts, and features 12 pages of truly amazing artwork. So impressive, in fact, Charlton reprinted it a mere 2 years later in the November 1954 issue of The Thing #17, for some reason re-titling it as, "Weird Legend of Trelawney."

The Nameless Horror

On this day in 1976, the big Dino De Laurentiis King Kong remake was unleashed upon the world, and yeah yeah ok, it's not the best film in the world, but I totally remember going to see it as an 8 year old kid and enjoying it anyway. So with that, let's take a look at another hulking tale of hairy horror, this one swingin' its way to you from the May 1952 issue of Beware Terror Tales #1 with some truly beastly art by Bernard Baily. It's Go-Go-Gorilla Tuesday at THOIA!

Speaking of monster apes, I found this WTC postcard at an antique mall a few weeks ago too! (Postmarked 1976 on the back)
