Friday Fun CALLING ALL KIDS "Pug and Curly Find Someone to Scare"

Though not quite as weird as their book-mate Twinkle...

...anthropomorphic squirrels Pug and Curly were even more long-lived, running for the entire existence of Calling All Kids from #1 to 26!

This tale, BTW, was from the same book as last week's Twinkle story, Parent Magazine Press' Calling All Kids #13 (1947).

Haunted House Reading Room UNCANNY TALES "I was Locked in a...Haunted House!"

Here's a tale that was so kool...

...Stan Lee and the artists at Atlas/Marvel told it three times...with variations, of course!

Written by Stan Lee, illustrated by Joe Maneely, this story from Atlas' Uncanny Tales #7 (1953) featured comic book fanboys as the protaganists.

(Note they only read Atlas titles like Mystic, Marvel Tales, and Uncanny Tales!

None of that EC crud for these guys!)

Be here Tuesday when Stan Lee and another Silver Age great re-tell this tale!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WALKING DEAD ZOMBIE SPECIAL "Dead or Dead" Part 1

Besides the characters in the plotline of the four issue mini-series... 

...a one-shot Walking Dead Zombie Special in 1990 featured this tale of other humans battling zombies...and each other!

"Sheriff" Scav's mental "coping mechanism" of perceiving threatening enemies as classic Western villains might just get him killed!

Find out if he survives...

Next Wednesday!

Haunted House Reading Room ADVENTURES INTO WEIRD WORLDS "House of Horror!" / DEAD OF NIGHT "House of Fear!"

While today's haunted house tale was the cover feature...

...the art, by the amazing Bill Everett, didn't quite get it right...as you shall see!

Why Everett did a demon/werewolf on the cover instead of the Jim Mooney-rendered skeleton shown is unknown!

When this story from Atlas' Adventures into Weird Worlds #6 (1952) was reprinted as the cover featured tale in Marvel's Dead of Night #1 (1973)...

...artist John Romita Sr got the skeleton right!

Thanks to early 1970s revisions in the Comics Code, the tale was reprinted almost verbatim!

But for some reason, the title was altered...

Nobody knows why...

Monday Madness JOURNEY INTO UNKNOWN WORLDS "Devil's Day Off!"

Here's a never-reprinted tale that's really a product of its' time...

...the 1950s, when paranoia and fear ruled the USA!

You know you're evil when Satan admires to your skills at torture!

Written by Stan Lee and beautifully-illustrated by Joe Maneely, this story from Atlas' Journey into Unknown Worlds #22 (1953) is good clean fun for the entire family, not gory, like so much of the material at the time!
