Danny Nash in the 1st story reminds me of John Constantine. Great book!

Great little comic, It's new to me. Could the toy add at the end be early Legos.

Does that cover art remind anybody else of Jack Davis?

Great stories. Thanks!
   By David Miles
I agree with the previous comments. This is a great comic book, spooky cover with great art work, interesting stories, if a little bizarre, creepy stuff! 10 out of 10.

Horror's Little Acre Continuity: on pg. 2 the antagonist has a revolver, on pg. 3 it changes to an automatic! Fun story though!
   By Allen Champion
These stories remind me of the 1970s DC horror comics like HOUSE OF MYSTERY and GHOSTS.
   By Johnny L. Wilson
The poses and general imagery of the cover were similar to Jack Davis, but I always felt his work had more fine detail than this cover has. As for the stories, Murder Mansion seemed like a cross between the typical haunted house/mansion/castle story and the "Monkey's Paw" short story of horror fame. Drury's Dream was a well-executed 1-pager with nice period art. Death Follows Orders was relatively predictable but it was a very enjoyable read. Phantom Hounds of Castle Eyne was an atmospheric 1-pager that served its role as filler. The Chimes of Doom was predictable psychological horror. Horror's Little Acre (pun on God's Little Acre?) was like a DC House of Mystery story and that's appropriate since Ruben Moreira eventually drew some House of Mystery stories. I thought this was well-done and enjoyable. Phantom Warning was another predictable 1-pager. I liked a couple of the panels in terms of art. Day of Reckoning was like an EC vengeance story but with a palette and art style more like that of a Romance comic. I definitely enjoyed this experience.
