Cult of Killers!

Who's ready for a heapin' fistful of more crime horror? This time our "Monday Murdering" comes via the Feb. '53 issue of Wanted Comics #52, and Bill Woolfolk delivers yet another whip-smart crackin' script for Harry Anderson to beautifully load-up with cloaked cult kooks, smokey opium dens, swirling dancers, and dead duck dames; in particular, one truly disturbing hanging aftermath panel. So grab your black bandit masks, it's time to stop a couple'a cold-blooded, crazed killers on the loose! PLUS, another juicy John Buscema cover too!

Make Way for Murder!

"Monday Murderings" has a nice ring to it, so let's spend the rest of the month livenin' up those Monday blues with some Monday grues! NOTE: Grue definition and meanings: 1.) a creeping of the flesh. 2.) to shiver or shudder. 3.) to feel a strong aversion-- and all of these definitions most certainly apply to this incredible tale of vengeance from beyond the slimy lime pit grave-- a story not even found in a horror comic, but instead the October 1952 issue of WANTED Comics #50! This is some top tier terror via the "The Mausoleum of Weird Crimes", and exceptionally well scripted by Bill Woolfolk, (the "mile after mile" narrative in the middle of page 5 is ghastly AF!), and --hold the phone-- pencils / inks here are by the late great John Buscema, who also created that spectacularly surreal cover! And hold on to your skin before it completely slithers away, because this tale actually goes one finale insane step beyond the usual shambling dead revenge plot!

The Hounds of Horror!

Time for another petrifyin' installment of Plastic Man, this month's "Spotlight Character" vs. the super duper natural, and like the previous Plas entry HERE, this tale also comes from the January 1953 issue of Plastic Man #39. Fun stuff as ever, with all the great artwork and Bill Woolfolk writing you've come to expect from this classic series. And if that big 'ol loomin' full moon on nearly every page below doesn't get you into the Halloween spirit, --ya better check your pulse!

The Stairway to Madness!

As many of you know I don't really post a lot of superhero stuff here, and when I do it's usually a tale involving some type of supernatural shenanigans, explainable or not. A perfect example is this fantastically illustrated / written satanic haunted house story from the January 1953 issue of Plastic Man #39, --one that concludes leaving even Plas scratchin' his 'ol rubber noggin' in perplexity! Spooky, funny, and just non-stop great dialog, art, and action-- plus since it's October I've decided to make Plastic Man the "Spotlight Character of the Month" and give you a few more of his eeriest adventures sprinkled around for the next few weeks-- so stay tombed for that! Did anyone ever dress up as Plastic Man for Halloween?
