Father's Day is still about 20 days away, and the rotten old miser zombie ghost in today's post isn't coming back from the dead Creepshow-style for his Father's Day cake either, nope-- he wants his money! This is a typically fun 'n spooky entry from the consistantly batshit bonkerama that was Superior Comics (fyi: I LOVE page 4!) From the Jan. '53 issue of Journey into Fear #11.

Suicide Tower!
It's been a few years since I posted a Dr. Thirteen "Ghost-Breaker" story, so here's a weird one, originally presented in the January 1952 issue of Star Spangled Comics #124, art by Leonard Starr.

The Civic Spirit
Opposite forces of the supernatural face-off in this very clever (and very funny) ghost story from the April - May 1950 issue of Adventures into the Unknown #10 ...this one would've made a really great Topper plot back in the day.

BONUS!

BONUS!

The Boy Who Cried Wolf!
Time for eight action packed pages of ghostly, Edvard Moritz fun, from the April - May '50 issue of Adventures into the Unknown #10. With its hilarious wise-crackin' dialog, tell me this wouldn't have made a great Bowery Boys film!
And be sure to check out Spacelord's new German website "Fifties Horror", all about our favorite subject around here-- pre-code comics! This one definitely gets the Karswell Scream of Approval!

Mirror of Hate / Dr. Death
The theme today is "ghosts" with a few more choice selections from the September 1952 issue of The Unseen #6. Actually, the theme for the next few posts will be "ghosts" as well-- who you gonna call?

The Eerie Glen / Peg Powler
The last story in the September 1952 issue of The Unseen #6 is a moody one, you'll see the end coming long before poor Joe does, but that's the way the pre-code corpses crumble... and if that's not enough, how about a gorgeous one-page filler bonus story illustrated by Alex Toth!
