| What a comic for it's day! Not like the others of the 1950's. The art work was great and the story's was wonderful. Thank you for putting this on this site. PS if you are a comic book fan you need to read this! |

| Terrific front cover by Maurice Whitman – that poor girl’s gonna have her work cut out against that ghostly ghoulie fangy thing.
The Banshee Bells was – well – creepy! Pencils were a little lacking but the story gripped – was he going mad or wasn’t he? Those poor kids – looks like they’re trapped in school for eternity
Flee the Phantoms was my next favourite. The scene on the bus was ultra-scary – but a neat way of telling some quick tales – shame about the blonde in the red dress
The Parting has a ventriloquist’s dummy. I’ve always felt there’s something not quite right about ventriloquists – those split personalities – finally, I’ve been proved right! |
