This must have really jumped out at readers from the stands in 1959, right at the height of the comics code clampdown on all things horror in the four-color world. My favorite story was THE UNBELIEVER, and if that isn't George Tuska artwork in GUNK, I'll eat it! Which would take some doing on a computer -

Great artwork. Mediocre writing.

This book is just absolutely fabulous. If I had been around when this first hit the stands ,I would have snatched this in a heartbeat. The cover alone is worth a fortune. This had to have been a prototype for Warrens 60s b&w books.

From Wikipedia on Grey Morrow -' Morrow contributed to one of the first black-and-white horror-comics magazines, the Joe Simon-edited Eerie Tales #1 (Nov. 1959) from Hastings Associates, penciling and inking two four-page stories by an unknown writer, "The Stalker" and "Burn!" Interestingly, Morrow, Orlando, Wessler and Williamson all were regular contributors to the later Warren books. Grey Morrow did a lot of the Warren EERIE covers. The book even looks like a Warren book. I'd love to know more about the connection.

Taken from the crinkled raw scan so needs re-scanning ideally. I prefer the papery look but the edit isn't particularly harsh. Exactly the same applies to Weird Mysteries. Shame they failed after ONE issue when there were hundreds of samey issues those b/w Mad imitations. Eye-catching covers so I can only assume that even five years on from the peak of the hysteria distributors and/or sellers wouldn't touch them (even though their kiddies could go to the cinema to watch horror films unlike in the U.K).

unclerobin@att.net - The comics code was pretty much formed on the foundation of misunderstanding, reactions that weren’t well thought-out, and the desire from publishers not to lose more money. The fact that doctors, church leaders, parents, or the Senate weren’t rising up in big, business-destroying condemnation against traditional magazines with horror comics in them in 1959, or the 1960s for that matter, on the basis of even the smallest possibility of kids getting a hold of such magazines may very much go to show how little weight any of those mishandled and unprioritized those Senate hearings really had. Even more so considering how horror comics were re-flourishing in the 1970s and even today. I can admit to the comics code censorship wasn’t good and hugely having a sterile and bad effect on comics for a little bit, but it still all worked out in the end, similar to what movies and video games went through I suppose.

NotesJoe Simon editorial credit from Alter Ego (TwoMorrows) #36. The host introducing most of the stories in this magazine is a character who first appeared in Weird Mysteries (Pastime Publications, 1959 series) #1 (March 1959). He is not introduced by name in this issue, but calls himself "your Morgue Keeper." In Weird Mysteries the character was called "Morgue'n." This may imply that the material presented here was originally planned for the never-released second issue of Weird Mysteries. The art credits for unsigned stories were reviewed for Alter Ego by Michael T. Gilbert, Hames Ware, Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr., and Dr. Michael J. Vassallo, who confirmed the existing GCD credits and added Battefield as artist for "Shroud Number Nine," though they suspect Powell’s "The Suckspect" and Morrow’s "Burn" were re-touched in-house or drawn with the aid of assistants.
