19th Annual HAASHOW Highlights

Taking a quick breather from the comics for a bit with a handful of horror highlight photos I snapped at the 19th annual Halloween and Haunted Attractions Show here in STL last weekend (see more highlights from the 17th annual HAASHOW HERE!) The fine, frightening folks in the scare industry really know how to top themselves each and every year, making this show one of the most awesomely creepy convention experiences ever! Masks, costumes, props, concessions, you name it-- if it's part of your haunt then this show has got it! I also bought a cool Frankenskull mask from my pals at Trick or Treat Studios, --I even met actress PJ Soles and she signed my Carrie and Halloween dvds!

The Hellfire Club (PART TWO)

Apologies for the delay with PART TWO, but here it is finally --I should know by now to never do a 22 page story the same week as HAASHOW-- (horrific highlights from the con coming up next!) But here's what you've all been waiting for, some of you on tenterhooks too apparently, haha! Hope everyone enjoyed this venture into Charlton Comics Group terrortory, if you want to see more, be sure to drop me a line... I like to mix things up around here so any thoughts, comments, or suggestions are always welcome! From the Sept '77 issue of The Many Ghosts of Dr. Graves #61.

The Hellfire Club (PART ONE)

Continuing on with our look at some cool 'n creepy Charlton Comics Group horror-- today begins a two-part post from the Sept '77 issue of The Many Ghosts of Doctor Graves #61 and features some really great art from Tom Sutton. It's a superbly written tale as well, the Dr. Graves character being a fun supernatural sleuth, and he's really got his hands full with this epic mystery overflowing with black magic, monsters, and murder! I think you're gonna enjoy this one-- PART TWO coming up NEXT!

...to be continued!

Meeting of the Damned! / The Statue!

Two stories with a humorous horror twist from Wayne Howard today, both from the August 1978 issue of Ghostly Tales #131. If  Wayne's style looks familiar to you it's because his mentor Wally Wood was a huge influence on most of the fabulous work he did for Charlton Comics in the 70's--read more about Wayne HERE! More Charlton on the way too, stay tombed...
