It's Friday the 13th...Let's Have Some HORROR (and a little Sci-Fi)!
Here's a quartet of intro pages illustrated by Berni Wrightson...
...for DC 100-Page Super Spectacular #4 (1971)
Titled "Weird Mystery Tales", the reprint anthology featured brand-new art for the section headers with Berni himself as a "host" doing intros...
BTW, none of the headers has ever been reprinted!
So, unless you own this HTF issue, this will be the first time you've ever seen these pix!
And be here tomorrow when we present the book's text piece, a story with a large Wrightson illo!

Reading Room: LIFE STORIES OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS "Abraham Lincoln"
There's no better way to celebrate Lincoln's Birthday...
..than to read his life story.
Note: there are a few politically-incorrect panels referring to African-Americans as "Negro", which was the accepted term in the 1950s.
BTW, did you note that, at the top of the last page of the story, Grant and Lee have the wrong uniform colors?
Dell's never-reprinted Life Stories of American Presidents (1957) was both sold on newsstands and distributed to bookstores (where I found my copy in 1963), a rarity in those days.
Though the author is unknown, the artist who penciled and inked the entire 100-page cavalcade of Presidents from Washington to Eisenhower was John Buscema!

If You Missed It: ABRAHAM LINCOLN: LIFE STORY
We ran this 100-page, never-reprinted story...
...featuring art by the legendary John Buscema immediately after the 2012 Presidental Elections.
You can read it right before Lincoln's Birthday HERE!
And, come back tomorrow for another, shorter, never-reprinted tale about Abe Lincoln by John Buscema!

Reading Room SPACE PATROL "Balloon Men of Jupiter"
Just when you think you've seen the weirdest art Basil Wolverton could create...
...you find something even weirder!
I'd love to see someone animate these classics of surreal storytelling.
