The Man Who Defeated Death!

We'll be taking a look at some freakily lengthy Fawcett Publications frights for the new few posts, our first from the May 1953 issue of Beware! Terror Tales #7. A fun bit of info: while the entire story itself was reprinted a few times in the following decade, the actual splash page of this story was recycled as well and used as the cover for a 60's UK reprint series called Voodoo, which apparently reprinted everything from Silver Age Marvel monsteramas to 50's Iger Shop classics (see the last scan.) More Fawcett up next!

The Lonely One!

Sweltering summertime blues got you down? Here's another one from the January 1953 issue of Beware! Terror Tales #5 that might just send an arctic shiver down your spine-- decent art by Maurice Gutwirth, who was probably more comfy working on patriotic superhero type adventures.
