"It is said that the ghost of a man long dead paces the house-- paces in silent fury-- while the wind howls dismally..." is not only some of my favorite precode horror comic narrative ever scripted (thanks again to fab Frank Belknap Long), but it also accompanies one the absolute best ever Max Elkan panel illustrations of the 1950's (see bottom of page 4.) And that's why we're treading more Adventures into the Unknown waters, because not only do we have a familiarly fantastic, centuries spanning murder curse mystery scenario here, but also some of Elkan's finest shadow and silhouette work, plus dripping, seaweed covered undead shambling up the shore, --and don't forget a healthy, delicious dose of gorgeous good girl art too! Top notch ACG entry right here...
