Reading Room/Tales Twice Told TALES FROM THE TOMB "Living Corpse"

Last Tuesday, We Showed You the Original Version of This Story!

Now Witness How Another Artist Re-Interpreted It for a Cover-Featured Tale...and Needed an Extra Page to Do So!

This new version of the Simon & Kirby Black Magic story appeared in Eerie's Tales from the Tomb V6N5 (1974), illustrated by Alberto Macagno.

What's odd is that most of the reworked versions that appeared in Eerie Publications' b/w magazines (which weren't restricted by the Comics Code Authority) were gorier than the originals.
Yet this tale would've easily passed the looser Code, then in effect, which allowed "traditional/classic" monsters (Frankenstein, Dracula (and other vampires), werewolves, mummies)...without too much blood!

Heck, Marvel had just released their own Living Mummy series in Supernatural Thrillers!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFF "Beginning of the End"

It Has All Come to This...

...the Final Chapter in the Saga of Wolff, the Post-Apocalyptic Barbarian, seeking his long-lost wife and tribe!

This never-seen-in-America finale from New England Library's Dracula V1N12 (1972) is melancholy at best.

But it holds the potential for a sequel...which was never realized!

Kirby Reading Room/Tales Twice-Told BLACK MAGIC "Alive After Five Thousand Years!"

Only reprinted once since initial publication 70 years ago in Prize's Black Magic V4N4 (1954)...

...here's a tale showing the legendary Simon and Kirby team at their spooky (but non-gory) best!

Just cries out for a sequel, eh?

Sadly, there wasn't one, nor was the story reprinted...until 2014, in Titan's Simon and Kirby Library: Horror anthology (see below).
But, there was a retitled retelling of this tale, in a rather unlikely place, in 1974!

You'll see that version on Thursday!

Monday MARVEL Madness BARBIE FASHION "Bye, Bye, Barbie!"

When is a Barbie story not a Barbie story?

When it has no Barbie (or her supporting cast) in it...until the very last page!

Perhaps that's why this never-reprinted tale from Marvel's Barbie Fashion #41 (1994) was in their April Fool issue!

But as for who is in this story, well...

Either in-universe Marvel's Editor-in-Chief Tom DeFalco (not the real guy, of course) was an easily-manipulated fool...or he was a sadist!

Note: Barbie Fashion ran for another year, until it was really cancelled with #53 in 1995.
Written by Barbara Slate, penciled by Mary Wilshire, and inked by Trina Robbins, this story from three decades ago featured the entire creative and editorial crew from the two Barbie titles as well as various other Marvel personnel.

Can you name them all?
