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...

Skin 'em Alive!

Many sites have a preview of the bonkers baseball story, (introduced by yours truly!) featured in the grisly new issue of HAUNTED HORROR #5 --in stores NOW! Today, THOIA delivers an encore presentation preview of the freaky football tale that I originally posted here way back in 2007 from the Feb '54 issue of Mysterious Adventures #18. Hey, if anyone is having trouble finding HH at their local comic shops, please let us know-- we'll see if we can get a fire lit under some slackin' asses for ya!

The Terrible Trophy

Our Matt Fox story the other day was such a hit that I just had to give you another one before we dive into my Ace Comics Tribute this week. So here it is, an appropriately gruesome Atlas selection, (“appropriate” in that I had to sit and listen to a relative go on and on the other day about deer season opening this week--- so yes, this one’s for you!)

From the November 1953 issue of Adventures into Terror #25

Skin 'em Alive!

If rotting demons and quivering brains aren’t sickening enough for you then maybe you’ll find this one “a’peeling.” But try not to laugh too hard when the guy unintentionally talks about how his “old balls were getting a little worn out!”

From the February 1954 issue of Mysterious Adventures #18 comes--- Skin 'em Alive!
