Horror Comic at it's best. Too bad it was one book. It's a lot of fun! |
|
With Hallowe'en coming, I thought I'd take a look at this - I wish I hadn't eaten pickles for tea beforehand |
|
Great EC-style pre-code horror. The Werewolf of the Alps is my favorite because I just love the way monsters and vampires were drawn back then. I could easily see this story later gracing the pages of an Eerie Pubs mag. |
