Yesterday. we presented this tale...

| Edited version |
...and then we discovered it had been radically-altered from it's first appearance, and that the original version had never been reprinted!
We will now correct that mistake and present pages unseen in over fifty years!
(You can click on any of the pages to enlarge them.)
We'll present the toned-down version first, then the original, scarier version...
Note in the original version, both the wife and singer on tv show a lot more cleavage!

This last page is radically-different! Prepare yourself!

Wow!
The edited pages were from Race for the Moon #1 (1958)
The original story was from Witches' Tales #21 (1953)
As you can see, the Comics Code Authority insisted on some major redos, including most of the last page!
Whenever possible, we'll present examples of similar "reworking" of stories pre and post-Comics Code!
