Monday Madness DRACULA Dracula One-Page Tales #4

The English-language version of the 1970s Spanish Dracula magazine didn't have any Dracula...

...because they left out these kool, wordless, one-page features from the back cover of the original Spanish editions!

Note these the first one also features Frankenstein's Monster and The Mummy!
And the second one introduces aliens into the mix!

Both England's New English Library and America's Warren Magazines (who licensed the NEL translated version) left out these entertaining pieces...despite the fact no translation was needed!

Written and illustrated by Alfonso Figueras, these one-pagers now make their American debut!

Be here every Monday in October for more kool vampire humor!

Dracula

the Trade Paperback

(from 1971, featuring the first six issues of the translated-from-Spanish Dracula magazine...but not these Dracula humor strips...nor any Dracula content!)

It's Time for HORROR! (Horror COMICS, that is!)

Before videogames came along, comics (and tv...and movies) were said to be the contributing factors to JUVENILE DELINQUENCY!
I say...CELEBRATE the stuff your grandparents said would warp your parents' minds!
After all, they turned out OK, didn't they?
Didn't they?
Oh, well...

What could be more appropriate for Halloween than the frightening images of Horror Comics of the 1950s on t-shirt, hoodies, mugs, and other kool kollectibles?

Reading Room EERIE ADVENTURES "Perfect Hideout!"

It's a sci-fi tale...

...a horror story...

...a parable about how crime never pays!

...it's all these things...and more!

Illustrated by Gerald McCann, this tale from Ziff-Davis' one-shot Eerie Adventures (1951) shares a title with several other 1940s-50s tales from other publishers.

But none of the others were sci-fi, just standard "crime does not pay"-style tales...

Did they publish the winners?

You'll hve to be here Next Friday to find out, True Believer!

BTW, this back cover pic is from The Man Who Laughs, starring Conrad Veidt...the visual inspiration for writer/artist Jerry Robinson's creation of The Batman's arch-enemy The Joker!

Monsters to Laugh With #3

The Original Magazine...NOT a Reprint!

Reading Room WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "Escape to Death!"

Yeah, you read that correctly.

"To Death", not "From Death".

Don't worry, this s-o-b deserves what he gets in the end...

It's a kool story with superb Basil Wolverton story and art.

But, there's one problem...the coloring.

Basil went to the trouble of doing a number of different alien races, but they're all colored the same shade of green!

(There is one panel with the various aliens colored differently, but even there, the coloring is not consistent.

Members of the same species are colored several different ways!)

Was this tale from Key's Weird Tales of the Future #2 recolored to play up the various species' differences when it was reprinted in Eclipse's Mr Monster's Super-Duper Special #8 in 1987?
When I get ahold of a copy, I'll let you know!
