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!

Monday Monster Madness DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN, and "WEREWOLF"...as SUPERHEROES???

we warned you...
Our "brother" RetroBlogHero Histories, has the complete runs of the swinging Sixties superhero incarnations of FrankensteinDracula, and WolfMan, (which was retitled "Werewolf" due to trademark conflicts).
Did you know writer/editor DJ Arneson and artist Tony Tallarico put Universal Monster SuperHero Universe references within the three series?
Was a crossover team-up or battle planned...but not published?
If that doesn't scare your pants off, nothing will!

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 HorrorHorror from the Tomb (see a trend?), Beware! (with a fantastic Frank Frazetta cover!), and The Clutching Hand!
We already had The Hand of FateHorrific!Weird AdventuresBafflingChallenge of the UnknownTerror TalesHauntedThe BeyondWeird TerrorWeird MysteriesWeirdDiary of HorrorWitchCraft, 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!

Spooky Space Force Saturdays KENTON OF THE STAR PATROL "Vampires of the Void"

Strap on your blasters and activate your ato-jets, kids...
Art by Joe Orlando and Wally Wood
...as we join our space-faring hero against gorgeous aliens who suck the life from humans!
Now that's a sci-fi horror tale...and illustrated by Wally Wood and Joe Orlando!
Gardner Fox scripted the story published in Avon's Strange Worlds #4 (1951) and it actually makes sense, given the scientific knowledge of the era.
Add a kool (if slightly misleading) cover by Wood and Orlando...and you've got a cult classic!
Hard to believe it's only been reprinted twice!
But...it has been re-told twice more!
What do we mean by that?
