The Devil from the Deep

We’re kicking things off in August with an unusual and grisly mermaid tale from the short lived Ziff-Davis Nightmare series. And please, click the GCD issue link below so you can drool over the gorgeously painted cover art by Walter Popp.

From the Fall 1952 issue of Nightmare #2

Wow! Speaking of mer-people, another THOIA shirt photo was discovered washed ashore today. Pre-code horror fans apparently come in not only all shapes, sizes and sex, but from all depths too!

Say hello to Davey Jones for us, oh kind, creepy mer-person...

And recently I noticed Halloween goodies already on the shelves in various stores around here in STL, seems kind of early but who the heck’s complaining. So to jump the gun like everyone else I’ll be posting classic Halloween mask ads for the first week of August here too, and I’ll even keep them within the theme of that day’s story post, what the heck. I guess three months ain’t that far away, and what’s good for the mer-people is good enough for us surface dwelling air breathers as well.
