Ghost Manor Creature Double Feature

Nequam was inquiring a while back about Charlton ghost comics, and in light of Nequam's recent birthday, what better time than a few days late (sorry!) to get this post up! No need really for an introduction for either of today's highlighted artists from the March 1979 issue of Ghost Manor #42, as Steve Ditko's work on Tonight I'll Dream of You (as well as the cover) is unmistakably Ditko all the way-- but first let's take a look at a weird Tom Sutton werewolf tale featuring some superbly atmospheric art. I particularly love the coloring and inking on this one, just wish it had a better ending... and Happy belated Birthday, Nequam!

The Wolf Howls For You / Curse of the Kolukoffs

Dr. Theda wins the Ditko Monsters GORGO book drawing --CONGRATS and please email me your mailing address-- and thanks again to everyone that participated and shared their Ditko memories. I'll be having more horrific give-a-ways in May so stay tuned and don't fret if you didn't win this time! Here are two more 70's Ditko stories from Charlton Comics (remember I said they were gonna be hairy!) Our first howlin' tale from the June 1973 issue of Ghost Manor #12, and the second cursed selection from the November 1975 issue of Ghost Manor #26-- a Ditko Double Header!

Werewoods / Ditko GORGO Contest

Continuing on with another Giant Monster entry, (that is, if you consider giant murderous living trees as monsters), this time from the great Steve Ditko and from the October 1976 issue of Ghost Manor #31-- though my scans are actually from the reprint issue of Ghost Manor #47. It's WEREWOODS!! Therewoods! Right over there. And speaking of Ditko and giant monsters, if you're interested in winning yourself a copy of IDW / Yoe Books new Ditko Monsters GORGO, all you have to do is this: leave us a comment with your first and/or fondest Ditko memory and you are instantly entered into the werebowl for a drawing to be held next weekend; Craig Yoe or I will pick a name at random. So come on, paint us a picture of how SD became a name in your life. It's that simple. And consider it Ditko Week here at THOIA as well-- more hairy scaries from the legend coming up!

WIN THIS!!

NOW!!!
