The Thing That Killed!

Three's a charm, as we take a look at one more woppin' Doll Man and Doll Girl monster mash, this time from the December 1952 issue of Doll Man #43, and illustrated by Art Gates. It's a musky (haha) tale of science gone horribly wrong, and one highlighted by a terrifically disgusting looking creature! And oh my stars, Doll Girl really turns up the fists in this one-- I seriously love that the sound effect of a hat being pulled down over someone's eyes is "WHAP!" Hmmm, I wonder who chose the color scheme of the Doll Plane though?

House of Vampires!

I always feel like I cheat you guys when I post a story with a Scooby-Doo ending (check out our last post), so here comes Doll Man again --and this time with darling Doll Girl too!-- to set things right around here at The Horrors of it All with a terrifying tale of REAL bloodthirsty vampires on the loose! From the February 1952 issue of Doll Man #38, art by Chic Stone and Chuck Cuidera (?)

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...
