Reading Room THIS MAGAZINE IS HAUNTED "Secret of the Walking Dead"

With the return of AMC's The Walking Dead...
...we thought we'd present a shocker involving someone deliberately creating a scientific zombie!
Could this be similar to how the walkers on AMC's Walking Dead came to be?
This tale from Fawcett's This Magazine is Haunted #6 (1952) was illustrated by Ed Waldman who worked on-and-off in comics from 1941 to 1954.
The tale's writer is sadly, unknown!
However, the cover artist is Sheldon Moldoff!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder WOLFF "Return of Sadya"

Where's the conveniently-placed synopsis to explain everything going on in this post-apocalyptic world where magic rules and technology is all but forgotten?
Oh, it's at the top of Page 2!
Carry on...
Bet you believe we've seen the last of Sadya, in this never-published in America tale from NEL's Dracula #9 (1973), eh?
Then maybe you shouldn't check us out
NEXT WEDNESDAY
...when...nah, why spoil it for you?

Monday Madness LUNATICKLE "Horrible Comic Story Behind the Horror Story Comic Books!"

I'll let the original editors introduce you to today's Monday Madness...

"This, then, is the true tale of the Comic Book Industry’s brief but shocking plunge into the Witches Brew of gore and bloodshed.

Presented herewith is an authentic documentary of how it came about and how it ended—And how it ended!
The names, dates, and places given are all factual and for real! Any reference to certain persons is strictly intentional,

Only the prices have been changed because it’s after five o’clock!
-the editors"

Created by two horror comics veterans; writer Jack Mendelsohn and illustrator Lee Elias (in a very Jack Davis-esque style), this never-reprinted story from the second (and final) issue of Whitestone Publishing's short-lived MAD magazine clone Lunatickle is a bittersweet, but amazingly-accurate look at how the comics industry almost disappeared in the mid-1950s!
