Many of you know that THOIA's archival crypt is overflowing with stories about people going through a whole heckuva lotta trouble just to kill someone. Take "Grave Rehearsal" from the August 1953 issue of Strange Fantasy #7 for example-- whew, now this is a truly dedicated, exhausting amount of evil and planning! And in the end, --is it even worth it?! I have another gruesome one from this same issue up next as well, so stay tantalizingly tombed --even in that stiff cement overcoat!

I know this one, I used a page for it on one of my Halloween blogging nonsense where I rewrote comic pages with humorous dialog.
What I love about this is the character of BS Fitts. Everybody else has a regular horror comic architype and so does Fitts but here it's taken to 11. He dies, but nothing changes. He still acts important, bosses ghosts around, and finally sends in his own death with as many lurid details as he can, and the entire thing ends with him grinning about it all.
Is this even really revenge? Did he kill Madame Satin for revenge or just because it made his final story that much more exciting? I'm going with the later!
BTW you tell Madame Satin needed money because she seems to have only one dress for the multiple days of this story!
