Crossing Genres

[ecfanman]

Don't you just love those books that cross genres to attract more readers?

 

I just picked up this seldom seen L. B. Cole classic that crosses jungle comics with the horror genre. (Horror enthusists will be a little disappointed as this comic only contains Rulah reprints. But then who would be disappointed with a book full of Rulah???)

No! They drive me batty! I would never have figured out my pre-cde horror checklist without the use of Tales Too Terrible To Tell thanks to these re-riisue thangs. But man, the Cole covers were just amazing!

Not me, bub!

Nice book. Very nice book. Put that in the Have a Cigar thread and show those Marvel boys what they're missing!

 

If I pick up a Rulah book, will it make Sky Girl jealous?

Sky Girl will be upset but I would NOT turn my back on Tangi!!!!!!!!!!!!

didn't the astronauts take tangi up to the moon with them....

i just sold my copy of that cole classic, i LOVE shrunken head covers! the reprints inside were incredible, it made me want to seek out some fox books

The best crossing-genre book of all time (or at least the cover anyway) has to be Captain America Comics #74 a/k/a Captain America's Weird Tales, with that awesome Red Skull cover!

 

Of course then comes issue #75 with Cap only in the title, not in the book. WTF?!

fight against crime & crime mysteries combine the most gruesome aspects of crime & horror, they are great!

Well, Space Western has to be the bizarrest cross genre book. Cowboys in space! And Hitler to boot!

Here's another of those L. B. Cole covers. Again, it's not a horror comic, but more Rulah reprints.

 

Maybe I should post them in the GGA thread. There's more lookers over there.

And none of them are in slabs, so I can take them out and have my way with them whenever I want!

Now don't condescend to those puffy panted post pubescent panting peepers! If you think this is the place then I reckon this must be the place, I reckon!

 

PS - those Cole reprint books really DO have amazing covers! That one's a beauty, too. Deep rich colors!

I posted a link to this thread on the GGA thread. Let's see if the traffic increases.

 

I say we get them to peak at the girlies and then we hook them on horror!

Awesome book! I used to own a copy of it years ago, wish I had not sold it. Want to sell me yours? .

Crossing westerns with romance comics was a common mix around 1949-1951.

 

How often do you see real cleavage on a 1950 comic?

 

I bought this comic because it has a Reed Crandall story. (Really.)
