Man Who Wasn't / Bored to Death

It's been an uncanny month and a half of posts, but today's double whammy of ultra bored, fog bound, Men of Meh marks the end of our Atlas Fest 2018, because starting with our next post we will get back to a more varied publisher mix. I do hope everyone enjoyed the uncanniness! Okay, our first story is from the October 1954 issue of Uncanny Tales #25, with art by John Tartaglione (now everyone knows where I got the original image for the first run of THOIA tee-shirts back in the day!) --and followed by a dynamite Doug Wildey chiller from the June 1954 issue of Uncanny Tales #21.

HAUNTED LOVE #3 / Tomb for Two

IN STORES this Wednesday, April 6th-- it's HAUNTED LOVE #3! Yes, screams a charm as the third and finale fright-filled issue of IDW’s hair-raising new hit misery-series, HAUNTED LOVE concludes with a gag-gle of gruesome guys ’n gals ensnared in shivery tales of love and romance gone horribly awry! Seven macabre matches most definitely NOT made in heaven-- and here we have a FULL STORY preview of the first terrible tale from the issue-- an awful Tomb for Two, originally presented in the March 1952 issue of Journey into Fear #6. (WARNING: HAUNTED LOVE is not recommended for lovers of long walks on the beach, soft music, or candlelight dinners.)

Tomb for Two! / It Happened 'Neath the Sphinx!

Cursing you with the gift of horriday spirit today (THOIA style), we deliver unto all two doomed Atlas classics, one from the June '54 issue of Uncanny Tales #21, and the second from the Sept. '54 issue of Mystic #33 --just heed this one simple warning: Don't open these tombs until xmas!

A Shriek in the Night

For those of you who didn’t learn your lesson from yesterday’s pre-code post, here’s another reason why you should absolutely stay away from the opposite sex. Written by Chauvinistic Stan Lee and from the January 1953 issue of Adventures into Weird Worlds #14
