Pawns of the Pit

Apologies as we missed our Werewolf Wednesday slot by one day-- but here it comes a'creepin' now, snarling savagely and with ferocious fangs ripping flesh! This is actually a really fun entry from the great "Ghost Gallery" sector of Jumbo Comics (#161 from July 1952 to be exact), and features wonderful art by legendary EC hero / fan favorite, Jack Kamen. It also includes a couple of very unique lycanthrope moments, lyke-- did you know werewolves can't cross a stream of spilled wine?! Plus, a wild, spiraling transformation panel done in a way I've never seen before as well-- "OOOAAAHHEEEE!"

Curse of the Devil Doll

Time for another cursed entry in the superbly spooky "Ghost Gallery" series from Fiction House. If you remember the weirdly macabre Drew Murdoch adventure from a few posts ago HERE (yeah, I think Drew's gonna be our featured Character of the Month here in April), well, he's back and really has his hands full with an alluring apparition (illustrated by none other than joltin' Jack Kamen), --a super sexy spook that's even stolen the haunted, haggard heart of 'ol Mr. Karswell! Why, I almost actually shed a tear when: "For one brief second her tortured face writhed in the flames... then faded..." From the Sept. 1951 issue of Jumbo Comics #151.
