The Little Wax Doll

Okay. Mr. Karswell played nice in our previous post, and yeah, you all loooved the happy ending and cutsie wootsie cuddly kooties, --but! It's a new month now, and it's time to get back to the good 'ol depressing stuff that makes me, errr, I mean him (Mr. Karswell) so happy! Like this gruesome entry from the supernaturally great "Ghost Squadron" back-up filler stories, (this one found in the October 1947 issue of Wings Comics #86, published by Fiction House), and features a cold-blooded psychopathic doofus who has no problem killing a man that just wants to see his wife and new baby-- hurrah! There's also a ghost possessed wax doll, a few more shockingly cruel murders, and finally, one of the all-time goriest, and most brutal pre-code climax panels ever printed. Seriously, I hope you saved your breakfast for afterwards! And if you did save your breakfast for afterwards, don't eat it quite yet! *record scratch sound! Because over at AEET today, I've spun yet ANOTHER propular way to get yourself something disgustingly scrambled in the morn! Yeah, it's a whack way to spend your mourning, --but then again, that's why ya'll love me, right?

Midsummer Night's Horror

After the previous month of vampires, banshees, and other assorted supernatural fiends, it's time to unleash the tragic tale of an unrelentless, ultra violent, human monster. This shotgun rampage of brutal crime originally saw print in the August 1948 issue of Law Against Crime #3, published by the very short-lived, Essankay, who appears to have only existed for two years, releasing two different series titles for a whoppin' total of only 4 issues. Great L.B. Cole cover on this one, and yep, Wertham hated this issue of course, mentioning it in his infamous Seduction of the Innocent book.
