Reading Room EERIE "Dracula!" Part 1

Did you know that Classics Illustrated did Frankenstein, but not Dracula?

However, there was an adaptation of the original Bram Stoker novel, published several years after the Classic Comics version of Mary Shelley's tale in the mid-1940s

It appeared in Avon Comics' Eerie #12 (1953), and was the only book-length story to appear in the title!

To the best of our knowledge, the story has never been reprinted, probably due to it's length.

What shall Johnathan Harker do?

Join us Thursday for the frightening answer!

The Horror! The Horror (Comics, that is)!

Monster Crime!

Now that's a title!
Yeah, they knew what budding juvenile delinquents wanted back in the 1950s!

As you might have guessed, the upcoming Halloween holiday has inspired the Atomic Kommie Comics™ crew to add like mad to our Horror Comics of the 1950s™ section.

And, what titles did we add to our kool kollectibles kollection?

Besides the aforementioned Monster Crime, there's Tales of Horror, Horror from the Tomb (see a trend?), Beware! (with a fantastic Frank Frazetta cover!), and The Clutching Hand!

We already had The Hand of Fate, Horrific!, Weird Adventures, Baffling, Challenge of the Unknown, Terror Tales, Haunted, The Beyond, Weird Terror, Weird Mysteries, Weird, Diary of Horror, WitchCraft, and Eerie!

Plus collectibles with our ghoulishly-graphic, viscerally-vintage Horror Comics of the 1950s™ logo!

BTW: the Tote Bags featuring these designs would make GREAT trick-or-treat bags!

Be the envy of all the kids on your block this All Hallows Eve!

Monday Medical Madness TWILIGHT ZONE "Plague"

Submitted for your approval...

...a tale so frightening, it couldn't be told on TV...but it did appear in comic books...in The Twilight Zone!

There wasn't a sequel to this never-reprinted story by writer Leo Dorfman and illustrator Joe Orlando (with an assist from Mike Sekowsky) from Gold Key's Twilight Zone #20 (1967)!

Perhaps it's best we never know,,,

Space Hero Saturdays SPACE ACTION "Invaders From a Lost Galaxy"

A "Lost Galaxy"?

Not The "Lost Galaxy"?

How many "Lost Galaxies" are out there?

And, is this one really lost, or just misplaced? ;-)

While the writer is unknown, the art for this Flash Gordon-inspired tale from Ace's Space Action #1 (1952) breaks down as pencils by Lou Cameron, inks by Rocco Mastroserio!

Reading Room WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "The Time Has Come"

Here's a sci-fi comic story starring a guy named Alan Moore...

...and he's not that Alan Moore, since this story from Key's Weird Tales of the Future #1 (1952) predates the award-winning writer's birth by a year!

On a similar (if somewhat silly) note, you can see TV's Green Hornet battle Frank Miller (not the writer/artist) HERE!

Ironically, the writer of this story is unknown, but the artist is John Bulthuis, whose credited work appeared in MLJ/Archie and Key Comics titles, but his style looks similar to quite a number of unidentified stories I've seen.
