Friday Fun ARRGH! "Bugged!"

When I lived full-time in NYC, this was probably my #1 problem...

...in every apartment I lived in, and this never-reprinted tale from Marvel's ARRGH! #2 (1975) really hit home!
Written by longtime NYC resident Russ Jones (as "Jack Younger") and illustrated by Alfredo Alcala, this terrifying tale predates Stephen King's Creepshow segment "They're Creeping Up on You!"...
...by over half a decade!
(The page above is from the tie-in graphic novel adapted by King from his screenplay and illustrated by Berni [Swamp Thing] Wrightson!)

Monday Madness ARRGH! "Fangs for the Memory!"

We ran out of Spanish Dracula one-pagers...
...so we're presenting this never-reprinted comic (in more ways than one) tale of urban vampire terror from Marvel's ARRRGH! #1 (1973)!
Let's see what lurks under this kool Marie Severin/Tom Sutton cover...
Written by Russ Jones (as "Jack Younger"), penciled by Mike Sekowsky (some of his last comic book work before going into TV/movie animation full-time), and inked by Tom Sutton (who usually inked his own work), this was an attempt to do a new MAD-style four color comic due to the early 1970s loosening of editorial restrictions by the Comics Code Authority!
Sadly, the book only lasted five issues...
