Hand Wrenched from the Grave / Tortures of the Damned

Blogger's acting glitchy again, and I've been trying to get this one up for a few days-- anyway, I guess it's working now, so here's the final weird west horror post as promised, finally... another spooky fun "Tales of the Ghost Rider" double feature, both by Dick Ayers and both from the March 1953 issue of The Ghost Rider #11. Has anyone ever seen (or have) one of those cool mail-away Ghost Rider masks in the ad below?

My Friend the Hangman! / The Fastest Gunman in the Cemetary!

We'll be sticking with the supernaturally charged, weird terror tales of the old west for the rest of the week, and like our last Ghost Rider vs. Frankenstein post (CLICK HERE if you missed it), here's one of the creepy-coolest "Tales of the Ghost Rider" back-up stories from the same mag, (aka: the December 1952 issue of The Ghost Rider #10), and also illustrated by Dick Ayers. And since these are only 4 pages long, how about a bonus yarn to fill ya full of lead, --so saddle up for a spooky shoot-out from The Ghost Rider #14 as well! And after the stories, head over to AEET HERE for a whole mansion full of grim grinning ghosts just waiting to greet you!

Ghost Rider vs. Frankenstein

It's been a while since we wandered out into the 'ol weird west, so how's about we check in on the rootin'est, tootin'est, six gun spookin'est, supernatural show-stopper of 'em all-- The Ghost Rider! And heck, you don't have to twist my arm when it comes to anybody vs. MF'in Frankenstein! From the December 1952 issue of The Ghost Rider #10, and art by the always amazin', Dick Ayers! Maybe more weird west all week too...

The Bloody Fangs of Fear!

It's Werewolf Western Wednesday here at THOIA, and today we have another one of these cool "Tales of the Ghost Rider" back-up stories as featured in GR's own Golden Age comic book series --check the archive for more! In these yarns, Ghost Rider is merely the host to the horrors that await, so gather 'round the campfire for a lurid tale of lycanthropy on the loose-- if'n that's what ya got hankering' fer! From Ghost Rider #7, (1954), and artwork as always by the great Dick Ayers!

The Freaks of Fear!

Everyone seemed to enjoy the old west weirdness of Gunspook in our last post, so let's head back out on the high range of strange for another creepy precode cowboy tale-- and my oh my, it has indeed been awhile since we've seen the gallopin' Ghost Rider around these petrifyin' parts! From the July - August 1952 issue of Bobby Benson's B-Bar-B Riders #15, and arrestin' art by dead-eye Dick Ayers, of course-- he sure does draw a sizzlin' cute little snake gal, dont'cha think?

The Devil Deals in Death! / A Thirst for Blood!

As promised months ago, a Ghost Rider (original golden age version) double feature-- one from the August 1952 issue of Ghost Rider #8, but first a hot hit from Hell courtesy of the May-June 1953 issue of Ghost Rider #12. All artwork by the great Dick Ayers.
