DISAPPOINTED is a word that comes to mind. MISLED is another. No, I'm not talking about the 2012 U.S. Presidential election (although the words apply pretty well there, too), I'm talking about the opening story in this comic, "The Ship Of Lost Souls". The artwork was great, no complaints there. The splash page made me think I was ready to rate Quality horror right up there with my faves, EC, SUPERIOR, and AJAX-FARRELL, I just loved that creepy scene with the risen dead, always a favorite theme for me - and then I got the rug yanked out from under me. IT WAS A HOAX! AAHHH! I could have read a typical code-approved issue of JIMMY OLSEN or something like that to read THAT kind of story! And after that, NONE of the stories were really what I would call horror - except for one. "The Strangling Hands" was EXCELLENT, and it made me all the more disappointed to see Quality could do the job right when they wanted to, but only chose to give us a one-story tease, instead. If not for "Hands", this book would have only gotten a "1" or "2" on my ratings scale at best, for the good artwork. Better luck next time - if I even bother.

NotesThe faces with big eyes, large underlips and bushy eyebrows most probably McCarty, but the inking is "simpler" than his credited work in "Black Magic" #16. Therefore Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. and Tillmann Courth revoke the inking credit.
