The Dead Men / The Choir Master

We interrupt November's Web of Evil Fest for a quick request and submission from THOIA reader Richard Carlin who wanted to see Stan Lee and John Romita's "The Dead Men" from the March 1953 issue of Spellbound #13. In return Richard has graciously supplied us with Bob Powell's "The Choir Master," a gruesome Harvey tale from the January 1954 issue of Chamber of Chills #21 --thank you Richard! Anyone else have a request, or story scans they'd like to donate too just drop us a line!

The Monster from the Deep

From the November 1954 issue of Web of Evil #20, comes another atom bomb age thingie unleashed from the bottom of the sea-- one that no doubt could give even Godzilla a run for his money!

The Half-Creatures of the Sargasso Sea

It's that time of year again when THOIA sets sail into the weird, unchartered waters of the high seas to catch some hideous horrors from the deep! So inflate your water-wings and load your harpoon gun, today we dive into the October '54 issue of Web of Evil #19 for "The Half-Creatures of the Sargasso Sea."

Insane / A World Gone Mad!

Insanity and madness have taken over THOIA today, and our first tale from the February 1954 issue of Adventures into Terror #28 (art by Al Eadeh of course) might just be the cure you need to finally cut loose and really become something you are not tonight! Followed by an appropriately themed holiday yarn, originally presented in the September 1956 issue of Adventure into Mystery #3.

Happy Halloween, you fiends!

In the Bag! (x2)

THOIA fills your treat bag a few days early this Halloween with a double load of gruesome goodies, and once again it's two Atlas tales that share the same baggy name! First up, a heady little Jim Mooney classic from the July 1952 issue of Spellbound #5, followed by Doug Wildey's wicked take on John Collier's excellent horror short story "De Mortuis" from the April 1954 issue of Adventures into Weird Worlds #28.

 Speaking of Atlas, Marvel just announced another volume from their pre-code Marvel Masterworks series: Atlas Era Strange Tales Vol. 4 hardcover, collecting Strange Tales issues #31-39, coming March 2011!
