Monster of the Mire!

Some of you know I've been working on a Swamp Monsters book for IDW / Yoe Books (more info on that coming soon!), and over the last year of dredging around the old long boxes for suitably themed stories, I found this creep-filled, adventurously Scooby Doo-esque story (not included in my book) from the September 1950 issue of Doll Man #30. And while I typically don't post much "hero" stuff, I thought this was just fun enough to include here, in particular for the brilliantly brisk writing, (Darrel Dane's dialog is dynamite, haha), and the super great artwork by Bill Quackenbush (?)



















And no offense, Doll Man, but I think we all know who the real doll of this story is...
