buttock Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Stuck in an airport, but a couple of Heath classics are "Rodeo" in Menace 3 & "The Torture Master" in Men's Advs 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Believe it or not, I've yet to read Wolverton's Eye Of Doom ...... GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u ..... that Hiroshima story from Worlds of Fear 3 "Eye of Doom" and "They Crawl by Night" by Wolverton are just as creepy and entertaining as his "Brain Bats of Venus." I only have the splash to share of this story but the rest of it is just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid Fine copy...... doubt I'll ever get another like it @ $ 375 USD ....... I think a boardie ended up with it eventually.... can't remember who....

Jayman Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm curious as to what was printed after the word "cadavers" in this panel. Whited out on purpose or just something got on the plate for this particular issue? Anyone have a copy to verify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 This is another fav of mine from Stan Lee and Jerry Robinson. I get a thrill out of the impact a story like this can make in just three short pages! From Uncanny Tales #3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Robinson did some powerful stuff for Atlas..... that one is great. I'm also fond of "I Can't Stop Changing" from Marvel Tales 111 .......

I also have a copy of Mystic 31, and mine looks exactly the same in the word balloon, so there must have been something done when it was printed.

originalisbest Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm curious as to what was printed after the word "cadavers" in this panel. Whited out on purpose or just something got on the plate for this particular issue? Anyone have a copy to verify? Same as on my copy and every copy I've seen, no doubt it was self-censorship for a line of dialogue that seemed to go a bit too far for the editor -- probably "tortured souls" or something considered to have a religious overtone. Same thing as done in the final panel of Mysterious Adventures #20 (Chef's Delight) when "Oh my god!" became "Oh my g**!) "Oh my god!" was apparently a no-no, but apparently EC's ubiquitous "Good Lord!" was OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mystic 31 is from '54 as well as another self censored book, Black Cat Mystery 51 that had a self censored art panel of a severed head blanked out. These two seem good examples of last minute editorial decisions. Not 100% sure the MA 20 fits into this category though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Suarez in Tales too terrible to tell called it out as a self-censored panel, and I agree -- every copy I've ever seen has the phrase blobbed out. Edit to add the panel in question.

Yup, both of my copies of MA 20 have "God" showing as that panel posted above does. AFA BCM 51, I had to check; the entire panel is blank, but considering the cover date of August 1954, it was prolly an acquiescence to the approaching CCA. I'll bet if the book had been published 6 months or a year earlier, they would have illustrated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
