POST # 24 - "ONE FOR DE-MONEY" by Angelo Torres


Angelo Torres was one of the first artists to be featured here, and you will very likely see his name and artwork here quite often, if I can help it! The more I revisit his art for Warren Publications, the more respect I have for his bold and finished style.
Today's tale comes from EERIE # 2, 1966, and was written by E. Nelson Bridwell. If you've ever read a DC comic or a MAD magazine from the sixties, you've read Bridwell's work. This happened to be his first contribution to the Warren line (click here for another), a story about a rich uncle, a squandering nephew, and conjurings of demons. Torres creates such an aura of horror, you can practically smell the sulfur and brimstone tickling your nostrils.

A classic horror tale of greed and murder, here is...
ONE FOR DE-MONEY!

POST # 23 - "DRACULA'S GUEST" Altered Splash Page by Frank Bolle


Now, it is my guess that most of you have already seen this one, as posted by Karswell over at THE HORRORS OF IT ALL, a day ago or so.

But, if you haven't, you should.

As you know (or at least you should) THOIA is the premier home on the web for amazing pre-code HORROR comic stories, and the host of darkness Karswell serves up delicious daily doses of blood-curdling tales to twist your toes off! The absolute best bastion of HORROR on the web!

Originally published in Christopher Lee's Treasury of Terror (Pyramid Books, 1966 series), DRACULA'S GUEST appeared in EERIE # 16 two years later. Presented here is the first page only (for the rest go here), which bizarrely pastes the head of cousin Eerie over the face of Dracula! For the rest of this beautiful black and white story by E. Nelson Bridwell and Frank Bolle, click the link and head over to THOIA now!
