Hildi's early attempts at making Chunky soup were too labor intensive, so she decided to stick with making Manwich for her class reunion pot luck.

Giddyup!

 

According to AtlasTales, the contents on this are -

Men with Fangs! by Sinnott

Where the Werewolfs Prowled! by DiPreta

I Died at Midnight! by Mooney?

The Man who sold his Soul! by Romita

 

OK to see the splash of the attributed to Mooney and Romita stories. I mean how often do you see a horror Romita story and I have never really seen Mooney from that time period.

Yeah, I think that Romita guy has potential

So, do you guys think that piece is Mooney? I'm not familiar with his work to make any call, myself.

Just in today.

Great books everyone - thanks for posting!

[Norrin_Radd]

Can you tell they were having a hard time coming up with new ideas?

 

 

[precodekeith]

Nice copy, johnenock!

[johnenock]

Thanks. Got it off eBay and was pretty accurately graded. I only bought it because I collect Shoe covers and stories(Now my collection is complete ). I read the story, by the way, and it wasn't worth the price of admission. The cover story was pretty good though.

[precodekeith]

I like this one...

He's a human Chia pet? That's the fate "Worse than death!"?

[johnenock]

Can't beat a cover with a werewolf and a vampire on it...two things I collect

[precodekeith]

He's a human Chia pet? That's the fate "Worse than death!"?

 

Ya know, I was thinking the guy looked a bit Corben-ish. Obviously, it's not Corben, but does anyone else get that vibe?

I've read a bit of Corben but I didn't see much. I never considered Bill Everett as one of his influences but it's possible.
