Blue Bolt Weird Tales of Terror #119The Demons of Doom.
https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=7065Demons of DocarSpectacular cover on this book, but actually I like Disbrow's opening panel on the story a lot better.
This is a variation of the legend of 'Pandora's box. The box is drawn well, I enjoyed the story-telling.
It jarred a bit when the priest came out of the chest. Did he lock himself in the chest with the demons? If so, why did he wait till the box was opened 11 times before acting?
The Image (1 page)Also a
Jay Disbrow work.
This is a plot that has been used for whole stories and also whole storylines.
Not a bad effort to tell the story in one page and fill us the space in the book, which is what one-pages are for.
Die a weird death. The first thing that struck me is that on panel 1 page 1, the villain is wearing a dead-ringer for
Lex Luthor's first Orange and Green costume. I think this story was originally printed elsewhere and the title has been changed
Moving right along,
Weird City. It seems to me that there was a lot of cynicism involved in producing this particular book.
The book is
'Weird Tales' and two stories have the word weird in the title.
This one is a
Jo-Jo story - a
Fox features character and obviously the title has also been changed.
There is also at least one page missing, as the jump between pages 2 and 3 is too great, and Jo--Jo would have been introduced earlier, I think.
That said,
This is an interesting idea. Taking a Jungle character out of the jungle and placing him in a post-apocalyptic environment. The only other example of that, I think, is
Gold Key's Mighty Sampson'. Although
Kamandi is a variation on that idea.
Planet of the Apes? There is a lot more you can do with that concept.
