Not a pedigree

How cool is Menace that in its short run it produced 2 recurring characters, the Marvel Zombie from issue 5 and the robot M-11 from this issue.

 

 

This is quite remarkable Jay - and really some amazing covers in that short run.

Speaking of Menace #5. I never noticed that there were changes made for the 70s mag until I saw someones previous post of the story.

Some changes or deletions from the original text, but more importantly they made him a zombie hippie.

Yeah the hair is instantly noticeable but they also included his amulet of control that is around his neck when they reinvented him as Simon Garth.

How often does the 'ole lady pressure you to BUY a book We keep Reptiles and our living room looks like a Pet Shop..... so this Everett jewell really grabbed her..... me, too, truth be told..... although it's very tame for an Atlas horror book. GOD BLESS....

Cool book!

So what's the secret of the pet shop? Don't forget to pay the plumber?

I think this pet shop was next to the laundromat on the cover of Strange Tales 61

[adamstrange]

I think Astonishing 62 is a great example of Everett's slicker, more illustrative style that he employed for the post code suspense stories. Given the Code, it's actually a bit surprising what he got away with as you have a guy about to die from drowning.

 

Here's a bit larger image to make it easier to see the detail.
