...this exact story, but presented, in color, by a different illustrator, who did it almost 20 years earlier!
Inspired by the success of Warren Publications' b/w horror magazines (Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella), schlock publisher Myron Fass dropped his line of poorly-selling color comics and decided to do a line of b/w horror magazines uncensored by the Comics Code Authority.
Though some of the material was pure reprint of b/w stats and photo negatives from defunct comics companies like Avon, Fawcett, and Farrell, Fass' supply of them was limited.
So he had new material produced based on stories in printed comics from those same out-of-business companies, employing South American artists who worked for lower rates than American or European artists the major companies used!
Illustrated by Argentinian artist Antonio Reynoso, this re-telling of Tuesday's story was, itself, reprinted several times throughout the Eerie Publications line after it's premiere in Strange Galaxy V1N11 (1971), though I suspect Reynoso was paid only for its' initial publication!
Eerie Publications continued from 1969 to 1980, when the birth of the Direct Market and comic book stores (who didn't carry the Eerie Publications titles) doomed it to diminishing sales.
