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!

I can NEVER say no to some Doug Wildey!
Great find!
nice!
TWO KILLER STORYS!!! HALLOWEEN CAN NEVER COME TOO SOON FOR ME
THANKS!!!
consider me in the bag!!!
The moral of both tales is that it just doesn't pay to be nosy!
Good picks there! Always glad to see a bundle (no pun intended) of Atlas stories!
very grim, very good art in both, especially the first "Bag".
Two pretty unpredictable endings today. One because of a great twist, and the other because there was, like, no kind of twist at all. Didn't see either coming. I liked In the Bag best, I think. But the other one was just about as good.
Thanks for the awesome (my) birthday twofer, Karswell.
