Vampire Castle!

Ready for another exploration into the ACG realm of the supernatural? Well, here's a bat shit crazy bloodsucker tale from the July 1953 issue of Forbidden Worlds #19, highlighted by some nice art from Frank Beck and George Klein... and keep your eyes peeled for the Bavarian shark moat?!

The Bubbling Pit

Art Gates conjures up some fine horror from the pit, in this classic tale of terror from the September 1953 issue of Forbidden Worlds #21 (and later in 1969, Stanley Publications conjured it back again for Shock #4.)

Vintage AD

The Walking Dead!

If you accidently googled over here looking for the other "Walking Dead", don't shamble off so fast... in fact, stick around awhile, it's 3 pages of Al Eadeh art from the March 1952 issue of Astonishing #10 --what more could you want?! And after the story, check the Ghastly Awards to find out who won BIG this year, (click HERE!)

The Slipped Mickey Click Flip

Concluding our Creepy Fest with one from Corban and Moench, from the July 1973 issue of Creepy #54. THOIA friend Trevor M sends over the scans plus an intro: "...for me the greatest masterpiece ever published by Warren, in my subjective opinion, was this surrealist story -- which certainly generated the most mail they ever got. It was also featured in the crusty professor John Adkin's Richardson's seminal cartooning book: Complete Book of Cartooning. Along with the singular Eisner page, it completely focused all us serious students on greatness possible in cartooning."  Enjoy creeps! We'll see ya in April...

The Ghouls! / It!

The January 1983 issue of Creepy #144 is tagged as the "Giant Graveyard and Ghosts Issue!" and it really delivers, reprinting earlier 70's stories, as well as Frazetta's fantastic (though slightly re-colored) cover from Creepy #5. "The Ghouls", with its appetite destroying ending, is originally from Creepy #61, while Tom Sutton's awesome "It!" originally crawled forth from Creepy #53. FYI: An unfortunate printing error (?!) on a few pages of "It!" muddy some of the detail, but it's still readable, and still very worthy of posting for those of you unfamiliar with it.

The Mark of Satan's Claw

The contents page tagline for "The Mark of Satan's Claw" from the January 1972 issue of Creepy #43 warns, "Be wary of who you place your trust in." Very good advice if you too are someday planning a trip to Llangwell. (FYI: Leave the children at home!)
