The Fanged Freak

Black and white 70's remake from Eerie Publications, "The Fanged Freak", from the Feb '75 issue of Tales from the Tomb V7 #1.

Burn, Miser, Burn / Money Hungry

Today we have another side by side comparison of a sizzlin' 50's golden age horror tale vs. its Eerie Publications 70's remake --a hot little number with origins from the June 1953 issue of Mysterious Adventures #14, then revived from the dead and face lifted two decades later for the March 1971 issue of Terror Tales #V3#2 (same issue as the re-draw from our last post.) Anyone have an artist credit for either version? Countdown to The Howler howlin' in 3... 2... 1...

Creature of Evil / The Moon Was Red

It's been a long time since we've done a comparison between a pre-code horror classic vs. its later black and white Eerie Publication remake. So here's a good one, and this time I'll bypass the link to the story I originally posted back in 2011 and just re-post it here again after the remake. "Creature of Evil" from the March 1971 issue of Terror Tales #V3#2 is a complete re-draw of Lou Cameron's mind-bending monster masher "The Moon Was Red" (originally presented in the May 1953 issue of Web of Mystery #18.) See which one you like better-- being a complete Cameron fanatic, you already know my answer! Enjoy, and maybe we'll do a few of these comparisons for the next couple of posts-- sound good?
