Tired of reruns? Why bother? HERE's why...

From CHILLING TALES #16 (Youthful / Jun'53) comes the comics adaptation of
"THE CURSE OF METZENGERSTEIN"
art by Vince Napoli

These scans were originally by "Karswell" and have appeared on 4 DIFFERENT sites before this, but I have done my usual ADDITIONAL clean-up work on them, making my presentation superior to all the previous ones. (It's not bragging if it's true.)

From STRANGE TALES #83 (Apr'61) comes the 1st (VERY LOOSE) comics adaptation of
"THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH"
Story & art by Steve Ditko

http://professorhswaybackmachine.blogspot.com/2014/11/poe-1961.html

SuperScrounge · « **Reply #363 on:** November 21, 2014, 05:52:34 AM »

Except for a party and the "it's not a mask" reveal it has nothing in common with Masque of the Red Death. Unless one of the creators said it was inspired by Poe, I'd consider it a coincidence.

I'd say you're correct about Cora being based on Bette Davis. I could sorta see Lucille Ball in a few panels, but Bette was stronger.

BTW this story was featured in a Comic Book Legends Revealed installment a while back. Apparently the Comics Code took offense at the Devil appearing in a story so those final two panels were added afterwards (without Steve's approval or help).

Nothing to do with this particular "version", but something that bugs me about most adaptations of Masque is how they usually give Death a red mask, despite the fact that 1. masque refers to the party, not an archaic spelling of mask, & 2. the description in-story has him wearing a white outfit & mask splattered with red.

Thanks for the comments. Somebody steered me toward that one, and I figured, why not. The 1975 reprint cover actually has "The Masque of the Black Death" as a blurb. Hmm. Meanwhile, editor Len Wein managed to BLOW the ending of the story-- right there on the cover. It takes a certain kind of incompetence to do that!

I've noticed in recent years that many comics artists based characters on real people. The thing is, with "cartoony" styles (Kirby, Ditko, Heck, etc.) this may not always be so obvious. Plus, when you have multiple artists doing the same characters over the years, and fans generations removed, most poeple wind up unaware of the "models".

While Kirby often used then-current actors, I've noticed Ditko had a liking for those 20 years earlier. (Like Ronald Colman as Dr. Strange.)
