Help! / The Alien!

Time for the two remaining stories from the October 1952 issue of Adventures into Weird Worlds #11, (see our last post for the others plus a link to another yarn I posted years ago by clicking HERE!) A couple of intense little Atlas terror tales with art from Eerie Ed Winiarski and Mad Marty Elkin-- man, the thing I liked most about Atlas, aside from the great artists, was the variety in story themes as evident in this issue: you get horror, adventure, and even some sci-fi... Atlas had it all. So yes, another FULL ISSUE in the bag, and lots more horror on the way-- including a Halloween story! Yep, you thought Halloween was behind us, didn't ya? But of course around here it's just another day. See ya in a few!

Ghost in the House! / The Other Man

People are screaming at me for more Atlas, so here ya go-- a Joe Maneely and Tony DiPreta double header of weirdness from the October 1952 issue of Adventures into Weird Worlds #11 to be exact. And FYI: the next post will contain the two remaining stories from this issue as I hope to get the entire thing posted this weeeek! After you finish today's post though, check out the crazy cool Larry Woromay story from this issue that I posted way back in May 2008 by clicking HERE!

More news to follow at the HORROR COMICS group, as well as right here at THOIA of course!

The Devil to Pay / My Fair Beastie

We finish out a weird week with another full issue presentation here at THOIA (see also: The Catch and The Monster-Go-Round) with the final two terror tales from the June 1973 issue of Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery #47. And hey, if you thought the lake creature in our last post was kooky looking, wait until you get a load of the monstrosities in this double header post! We'll be heading back to the macabre age of pre code horror for the rest of the month next-- so stay tuned!

The Catch

We had a request for more from the June 1973 issue of Boris Karloff's Tales of Mystery #47, (see our last post for another story), and here's the oddball cover tale featuring a monstrosity from the deep with a seriously fishy problem. If the slick art by Jose Delbo doesn't hook you, then nothing will...

The Monster-Go-Round

The June 1973 issue of Gold Key's Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery #47 is a full-on collection of four nicely illustrated, though somewhat harmless, freaky creature stories. Hairy transformations, slimy things from the deep, and this strange little tale of a merry-go-round featuring monsters instead of horses or the usual type wooden animals. It's nothing mind blowing or terrifying, just an interesting "spin" on the pre-code inspired, fitting twist ending I dig so much...

Halloween Nightmare!

Who says Halloween is over? NEVER!!! We first showed you this one waaay back in 2007, but here it is again for those who missed the initial initiation-- from the April 1952 issue of Black Cat Mystery #34, art by Manny Stallman. And oh yes, if you missed my recent undead fumetti post of sex and vicious violence over at AEET recently then by all means click HERE! (ADULTS ONLY!!)
