Pov! Glad to see you pop in every once in awhile, my man! Believe it or not, I have never owned a copy of GTOTATS! However, it is now on my "short list."

This one has some nice colors..... What do you think is smoking in that weird incense burner???

I'd say this is a "swipe" of the classic, "The Monkey's Paw," wouldn't you?!

Notice the gravestone, it reads "Janet Lee." Wonder if she's any relation to Janet ( "Psycho" shower scene) Leigh??? Little dude looks like he coul be related to the nasty gnome things from "Phantasm."

Hand of Fate # 8 (the first issue). Funny how the host "Fate" gets swiped (IMO) years later by DC. OSG - "Surrealistic text story".

Yup, lots of nastiness. Strangulations galore!

Pre-code horror had some far reaching genre influence. Here's Ghost Rider 10...

Who can blame you!?!? Yeah, I forget all about 'em too until I looked at the poll. I'd have to say MY personal BA horror Snapple would be UNEXPECTED.

Yup, talk about yer piercing headaches, Jayman! He's getting that puppy right in the back o' the noggin'!!! Interesting side note, the "Ruby Eye" story is not in this issue, but the "Satan Owned His Soul" IS.

If you gauge it by the poll results it looks like ToD.

I've heard of "taking the red eye" before, but this is ridiculous!

Speaking of which. I hate to say it, but it may be a few more months on HCR #5. Possibly even as long as 8 more...

Ghost # 1. One thing for sure you can say about Fiction House, is that they could really make cheesecake! Legs for days! Talk about your foot fetish cover..... !!

I used this one as an inside cover in my fanzine HORROR COMICS REVIEW . (I touched it up a little for that purpsose, though. )

Web of Horror rocks!

Even more Franky... Notice how this one is titled "The Monster of Frankenstein".....

Hey Chris, allow me to let you in on a little "in-joke" here in the mag threads. "Seawald" is a joke publisher name that someone (who shall remain nameless... & shapeless ) came up with by accidentally combining Skywald & Seaboard together in a post. We try not to let him live it down by bringing it up every once in awhile. If I really "had them" I'd certainly PM you, as your reputation for laying out good money for good stuff precedes you...

I have complete runs of every SEAWALD title in 9.8 raw guaranteed. PM me.

On with the Franken-show.... this one's for Adam. Didn't he have a yen for covers where artists get attacked?

Hey guys, obviously the answer is Conan, since these other suggestions are just make believe comic persons.

This Franky holds a special place in my heart as it was the first one I ever purchased...

Doiby, you've been bitten! As you know, there is no cure to save you now! Welcome to the club!

NICE copies, Adam!

Here's another from my Franky run. Wish I had a better grade, but this one seems to be one of the more popular covers. What do you think the dialogue is here? "Hey, get off me! No wonder you guys are so tense!? You're all wound up!" (the possibilities are myriad...)
