It Waits in the Tank!

Fish Tank Terror is back (thanks for waiting!) and it's another weird one from the murky depths of the November 1954 issue of Journey into Mystery #19! Vince Colletta adds a good amount of creeping, disembodied eyeball chills throughout, --though if you're like cantankerous 'ol Mr. Karswell, the only thing I want creepin' around in my aquarium is the Penn-Plax Creech aerator from 1971! *glub! glub!

The Little Things

I guess it's been a while since we've seen a Howie Post Atlas classic around here, (how'e does it, I'll never know!) And this cute little hissing blast from the petrifyin' past, aka the November 1954 issue of Journey into Mystery #19, might just be what you antique and curio collectors are lookin' for! And hey, with that explosive twist ending-- nobody even has to go into work today now-- or ever again! The End.

The Witch Burning!

Time to get October all lit up with a good 'ol witch burning from the November 1954 issue of Journey into Mystery #19. Ed Winiarski pulls out a couple of obvious Jack Davis facial swipes here and there, but still manages to conjure up a bit of odd originality as well. And like I even need to say it, but stay tombed here and at AEET for lots rots more all month...

They Called Me a Witch!

We started this post code journey into mystery fest with a JK tale, and here's how we'll end it --and with a super Sinnott assist as well! It's definitely not October until the wicked (and even the not so wicked) witches take flight! From the May 1960 issue of Journey into Mystery #58.

I Was Trapped in Horror House!

Again with a first person titled post-code freak-out tale this week, --because it's all about YOU, dear doomed reader, muhhh-hahah, --featuring awesome art by yet another pre-code horror legend, and this time it's petrifyin' Paul Reinman leading the journey into jolting terror! We'll definitely be visiting a few more haunted houses before the month is out, so get ready for some serious spook overload! From the July 1960 issue of Journey into Mystery #59.

I Don't Believe in.... Ghosts!

Continuing on our October journey into mysterious, supernatural madness, with a King Kirby classic from the February 1962 issue of Journey into Mystery #77... ever see a spookier splash page in your life?! A truly great cover team-up with dynamite Dick Ayers on inks too!

The Shambler from the Stars!

Time to get October rollin' around here, and to kick the month off proper, we could maybe use a little something different than the usual, preferably something from a true master story teller. Robert Bloch is certainly one of the very scary best, and with some help from Ron Goulart, Jim Starlin, Tom Palmer, Roy Thomas, (and of course H. P. Lovecraft) how about a flash forward, Silver Age screamer from the February 1972 freak-out issue of Journey into Mystery #3.

















And after you read todays terrifying tale, CLICK HERE to immediately head over to my other blog to see what else I've conjured up from the evil pits of demonical darkness--

Dig Me No Grave!

Today our flashy Time Machine is set ahead for the October 1972 issue of Journey into Mystery #1, where we find a handful of my heroes all colliding in one great story*. To most of us, Gil Kane and Robert E. Howard need no introduction, but if you need a refresher just click on their names to get the scoop (all others proceed on your MARVELous mysterious journey...)
