Thing in the Graveyard / Third Grave on the Right...

Time again to journey out into the pre-code comics graveyard and see what we can dig up-- and how about a couple buried tales from two of the more interesting artists in the classic Atlas bullpen-- Jack Keller and Al Eadeh. First story from the October 1952 issue of Journey into Unknown Worlds #13, and our second yarn from the July 1954 issue of Journey into Unknown Worlds #29.

He Died Screaming

The great Jack Keller wraps up our Valentine’s Day Sweetheart theme today with this hot little tamale of a tale. You gotta love these kinds of stories featuring the greedy, old rich asshole obsessed with the lovely, greedier young lasso’frass… and this one has some inspired moments throughout, more precisely, the dialogue--- juss wait unteel you meet Ola, my lil enchillados!

From the October 1952 issue of Uncanny Tales #3
