The Terror of a Tatooed Man

Yes, I know the word "tattoo" has 3 T's in it, but that didn't stop the still amazingly talented, Lou Cameron from illustrating and delivering what it pretty much the best and most gruesome story in the April 1952 issue of Mysterious Adventures #7. Seriously, this tale is full of awesome WTF. Looking forward to the comments on this one! :) More from this crazy issue up next too!















Speaking of Crazy, if you're a fan of the same named silver age magazine published by Marvel, (as well as a fan of the film, The Exorcist), head on over to my other blog for their hilarious spoof from the August 1974 issue of Crazy #6! Just CLICK HERE!

The Tattooed Heart!

I guess it's been a while since we delved into the horrors of wartime atrocities, and of course any tale concerning nazi concentration camps is bound to be extra horrific. But fret not, this journey down a very dark chapter of world history actually has a light at the end of it, as you will soon see. From the March 1953 issue of Beware! Terror Tales #4, art by Harry Harrison, maybe...

Corpses of the Jury

After our last fun 'n cheery MAD post full of kid friendly laughs 'n silliness, today's grim tale should come with a red flag parental warning! From the Jan. '53 issue of Voodoo #5, this is a seriously gruesome Nazi atrocity that almost validates the Comic's Code's existance. And over at The Bloody Pulp, Mykal has scans of this story in its equally ugly 60's Eerie Publication reprint version too! Click HERE and check 'em both out to compare the differences.

An extra special thanks to Brian Hirsch for donating these scans!
