For want of a snake-grass noose, everyone in every other story here might have survived.<BR/><BR/>That must not have been a real werewolf, by the way, or the boy it killed would have been back for the epilogue.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13836904680434822238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-15354602323151065062008-10-23T03:16:00.000-05:002008-10-23T03:16:00.000-05:00Yeah, I have to second Mr. Fournier's point about ...Yeah, I have to second Mr. Fournier's point about the terrifying crowd. <I>"I heard rumors that it isn't a dummy at all...!"</I> I'm always impressed when these stories slide right into their own alternate universe--honestly, if the villagers are going to swallow the fact of a rampaging werewolf, why not swallow the further facts of its waxwork genesis? Why not just go slaughter up all of Madam Tussauds' on a tincture of hearsay?<BR/><BR/>In this way, the terrifying villagers are also stand-ins for the reading audience. Stand-ins for me. Without the shadow of any convincing suspension of my disbelief, under the influence of wilder and lesser-developed anecdote, the plot forces me to throw my hands in the air and assign plausibilities. "Of course," I murmur while reading, "the effects of the black widow venom can only be reversed with snake grass! The dog-intellect of the wolf-man presages the equal subservience of the caveman and the vampire! God, meeting Tura Satana sure would be super cool!"<BR/><BR/>Okay, so my mind wondered a little during the story.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-92038772004913357552008-10-23T01:15:00.000-05:002008-10-23T01:15:00.000-05:00Ghod, what a laugh-out-loud mess.

What a perfect contrast this one makes.<BR/><BR/>This story is proof that alcohol played a much larger part in 50s comic book composition than is generally supposed.<BR/><BR/>And the writer was obviously getting progressively drunker, rushing to finish before passing out. The last page just takes the cake, with one jaw-dropper after another.<BR/><BR/>"Only hanging by a snake-grass..."
