Isle of Demons / The Invaders
Thanks to Mike Howlett, we're still wandering lost in the blood-soaked, Weird World of Eerie Publications this month, and here's two more mind-warpers for you, another from the July '70 issue of Terror Tales V2 #4 called "Isle of Demons" with gory, knock-your-block-off art by Dick Ayers. Followed by a super-space-spooker variation on Basil Wolverton's classic Brain-Bats tale, this one called "The Invaders" from the Jan '81 issue of Weird Vampire Tales V5 #1, art by A. Reynoso.

According to the beginning of that first story the oceans are thunder barf. I'm not sure I would go exploring in that, no matter how gold all the stuff is.
i always felt sorry for the Bill Lawrence charcter in "The Invaders", he's got no helmet between him and the gooey Space Brain on his head- EWW!...
The best thing about seeing the pages small at first is that you really can see how well Ayers spotted blacks. This is some of his best work I've seen.
>thunder barf
Home of Thunbarr the Barfbarian!
>he's got no helmet between him and the gooey Space Brain on his head
Is that what they are, brains? I thought they were baby Dogoras.
>you really can see how well Ayers spotted blacks.
Good point Guy, you are certainly correct! And his pages are nicely balanced because of this...
I guess we'll end Nov 2010 with one more Eerie Pub tale-- coming up next.
What a great two-fer! Ayers and Reynoso... they rarely disappoint!
