Time for the grandaddy, livin' deader of 'em all-- "ZOMBIE!" by Stan Lee and Bill Everett. And yep, like most of the Everett illustrated stories featured here over the last week or so, this classic can also already be found in the THOIA 2010 Archive HERE, but it's the black 'n white reprint version... I'm not sure how we went this far without the original color version. And along with that iconic cover (also by Bill), this is a fabulously fitting, and extra eerie way to end our monstrous Menace Fest-- hope everyone enjoyed it! Lots more on the way, stay tombed! From the July 1953 issue of Menace #5.

So this is, canonically, Simon Garth, who had his own B&W magazine in the 70s and has been sprinkled throughout Marvel comics for decades. Like Groot and Fing Fang Foom (etc) it is kind of fun to see this pre-code stuff (and the post code giant monster stuff) get worked into the Marvel U as a whole.
The 3 panel whip, the 4 panel attack, there's some great Atlas cinematic moments here. Everett doesn't miss a chance to draw pretty girls and the zombie master is a great character.
BTW: Interesting tidbit -- when this character was pulled to be in the magazine, he was given long hair for a better look, so when they reprinted it (which is in your archive) they altered the art to give him long hair! It's fun to look at both side by side and see all the art changes they made.
