We're still screaming for our mommies with the release of my new book this week,
MUMMIES,
(IDW / Yoe Books) available everywhere
NOW, or order a couple online
HERE (and FYI: I have a few extras to spare as well if anyone wants to order one directly from me just send an email) --but seriously, what better way to celebrate the holidays this year than with the colorfully wrapped gift of wrapped, reeking corpses! Now while neither of today's classics made the final edit of the book, both are still pretty great in their own evil ways, starting off with
Bob Forgione's strangely sexy
"The Priestess of Baal" from the Oct '52 issue of
Weird Horror's #3, and followed by an encore presentation of
"The Sinister Return of the Priestess of Baal" (no relation to the
Forgione story) from the Nov '52 issue of
Baffling Mysteries #11, art by
Chic Stone. I've also spiced up this post with pix of
Lana Turner as the Priestess of Baal from MGM's 1955 film epic,
The Prodigal!
